Title: Fascinating nonfiction -- different from "Working"
Review: These are fascinating little glimpses into other people's lives. It's similar in format to "Working", but I don't think the comparison is valid -- Studs Terkel is a sociology writer, and he purposely elicited his subjects' feelings on the sociological and political aspects of their work. My guess is that most people don't think about their work much in those terms (and certainly less today than they did in the Studs Terkel era) and that comes through.
Is the review positive or negative?
