Michael Interviews...

Author Calvin Trillin
July 18, 1998

Calvin Trillin's family isn't necessarily a functional family, it's more of a muddle-through family. In his new book Family Man, Trillin recounts raising his family and splitting his time between New York City and Nova Scotia, where Trillin still spends his summers.

Listen in as Michael and Calvin contemplate their retirement pastimes and the necessity of a good dental plan for professional writers. And, if a complete lack of stimulation is what you're looking for, head to Nova Scotia. Calvin recommends it.

Calvin Trillin's book, Family Man is available from Amazon.com.
