About Alice

Steven Ovadia

Calvin Trillin's touching ode to his wife, who died in 2001. The book is very, very similar (if not identical), to his 2006 New Yorker piece about his wife, but it's still a sweet tribute. Trillin isn't oversentimental but he's very honest. It's not like Mitch Albom, where you feel like he's waiting for death because it'll make a sadder ending.
About Alice is a short and sad and ultimately heart-warming read.
