Title: Not the Terkel I Was Expecting.
Review: I really like Terkel's previous books especially Working. So I bought this one as soon as it came out. Really disappointing. Those interviewed were mostly aids victims, social activists, Operation Push people, Cook Hospital people, black people who had been discriminated against, gays, lesibans and others of very Liberal persuations. By selecting such a focus and extreme group of people to interview, it is like Terkel wanted to get other messages out. Or he just has a very limited circle of friends. Some parts were interesting but not worth going through the life experiences of these people. Forget this book!
