Questionstruck at GoodReads


GoodReads just added Questionstruck . So far just one comment, but it is a good one from John Domini who received an early advance copy of the book. He calls Questionstruck "a wild construction such as, in so far as I can trust my fragged and cratered recollection, I've never seen." If you're a GoodReads member and have the time, please add Questionstruck to your list of books TO READ. [image error]

A few months ago Calvin Trillin answered some reader questions submitted to The New Yorker .

In one response, he describes his approach to food writing, "I don’t cook and I’ve never reviewed a restaurant. I write about a eating as a way to write about American life."
