Title: A Reader's Companion
Product review: Roger Angell, long time fiction editor for the New Yorker, has put together a wonderful book of reminiscences. It is a journey through the American century through his eyes. We meet his mother, Katherine White (also an editor at the New Yorker), his father ( A New York lawyer) and his step father E.B. White (author of "Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little). Mr. Angell's prose is always beautifully poetic. This is not a compelling read but a very enjoyable one. At times his name dropping seems a bit self indulgent and superfluous but this is a small gripe. This is book to be read at you leisure. It is like listening to the reminiscences of an older friend who has led a remarkable life.
