About this audiobook
One of America's most beloved social commentators— Pulitzer Prize-winning and bestselling author Russell Baker— followed up his bestselling memoir, The Good Times, with this collection of his best New York Times columns, dating back to 1962. There' s a Country in My Cellar covers Baker's usual wide range of topics, told in a wonderfully funny style, and many of which are profoundly serious beneath the banter.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This collection of Baker's NYT Observer columns range from the early 1960's to 1989, and covers the usual wide range of topics. Deliciously funny observations, many of which are profoundly serious beneath the banter. My, but I miss "The Observer".
