OK, so Calvin Trillin is like David Sedaris for oldsters. His persona in Travels With Alice is much the same character as the Sedaris formula playing always the innocent with the wrong end of the stick. Alice is his Hugh, superior and all knowing, and...deeply loved. It's one of those books you put down and wistfully wish someone would love you that much and immortalize you , I want to be Sedaris' Hugh, John Bayley's Iris or Trillin's Alice. Also it's one of those books when you wish you had enough money for the eternal vacation in the South of France that Trillin is always on. Send me there and I SWEAR my blog will be funny too. Please?
