Love Story
Humorist, journalist, food maven,
author of numerous books, writer for
the New Yorker and columnist for
the Nation, Jewish wordsmith Calvin
Trillin makes an appearance in Ann
Arbor 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 7, at
Borders Downtown, 612 E. Liberty.
He will discuss and sign copies of
About Alice, his tribute to his late
wife, a teacher, writer, mother and
Trillin's muse. She died of heart failure
Sept. 11, 2001.
Originally published in the New

Yorker in a shorter form, About Alice
is not an account of grief but a cel-
ebration of a rewarding life. Most of
all, it is a love story.
Trillin, now 71, brought his blend of
self-deprecating humor and thought-
ful observation to another affection-
ate — and affecting — memoir,
Messages from My Father, about his
late father, Abe Trillin.
Abram Trilinsky immigrated to St.
Joseph, Mo., from Russia at the age of
2. In Messages, Trillin wrote, "What
strikes me as odd now is how much
my father managed to get across with-
out those heart-to-hearts that I've read
about fathers and sons having!'
But his father's ambitions for him,
though never directly expressed, were
always clear. "It was a given in our
family that my father was a grocer
so that I wouldn't have to be:' wrote
the Kansas City-bred, Yale-educated
Trillin.

suited for Spears. He is very good
looking (6 foot-1-inch and muscular)
and bears quite a resemblance to
Kevin Federline, Spears' soon-to-be
ex-husband.
Cohen's comments on his My
Space page indicate that he's vapid
enough for "party girl" Britney. He
lists his inter-
ests as "living,
duuurtt bikes, 4
Wheelin', kung
fu flicks, rappin',
slappin', tappin'.
Ya know?!!?"
Spears and
As for religion,
Cohen
Cohen says his
favorite book is
the Bible. Before you conclude he
is a nice Jewish boy, I should men-
tion that the hunky model strongly
implies that he uses its pages to roll
marijuana joints. Can you say, "Oy"?
That being said, don't add a
"gevalt" – because Mr. Cohen and
Ms. Spears are almost certainly an
item with a short shelf life. By this
time next month, Spears will prob-
ably have moved on to another
pretty white boy who adopts the
look of a bad-boy black rap singer.

Henry Rollins
an amazing time.
"Having been here and experi-
enced the people here in Israel and
loving it, it personally grieves me to
see all this pain.
"Too bad that we're not at a point
where this can be settled, but I
think some day we will be. It's just
too bad that kids are fighting their
grandfathers' wars every year."
