Travels with Alice by Calvin Trillin
4.0
This collection of travel essays was good plane reading--I managed to polish it off on a two-leg travel day.
Trillin's humor is subtle and sly, and he's a traveler's writer--for those who travel a lot and have had your travels seep into your everyday live, he's your kind of guy. These essays talk about several trips to Italy, France, Spain and the Caribbean with his wife and daughters--how Trillin deals with language barriers and food issues (mostly fantastic), and unusual sports.
This was a fun read, and I plan to seek out Trillin's other books.
