About this audiobook
What do Grammy winner Garrison Keillor, Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient Maya Angelou, acclaimed novelist Laurie Colwin, and National Book Award winner Tom Wolfe have in common? On a November night in 1990, this quartet of accomplished writers and performers united for a worthy cause— to participate in readings to benefit the homeless. Recorded live at Symphony Space in New York City, the event was hosted by yet another luminary, James Thurber award-winning humorist Calvin Trillin. Among America's wittiest, most perceptive, and popular writers, these five united to create a memorable experience for listeners around the world— and to make a difference in the lives of needy men and women.
