TERKEL, STUDS Talking To Myself: A Memoir of My TimesPantheon Books, NY, 1977, 1st Ed. Hardbound. A very different kind of memoir. It cuts across worlds, across years, across the vast spectrum of people that Terkel has known, from workers to famous stars, from Nobel Prize winners to ordinary folk. In recounting his own life, Terkel uses some of the methods that have made his radio programs so famous. He cuts from a visit to Chief Luthuli in South Africa to a memoir of the McCarthy period, from growing up among the petty gangsters of Chicago in the thirties to confronting bigger gangsters of our political life in the sixties, from acting in a radio soap opera to discussing film with Fellini. Studded with marvelous anecdotes, high (and low) adventure, moments that are unexpectedly hilarious or surprisingly moving. LCCN 76-54308. 316 Pgs. Description text copyright 2005 ISBN: 0394411021. Nr Fine in Chipped DJ. DJ price clipped. Bottom edge bumped in middle. Overall content excellent. Paper DJ. 8vo..
