The Tummy Trilogy: American Fried; Alice, Let's Eat; Third Helpings -- Calvin Tr

<p>In the 1970s, Calvin Trillin informed America that its most glorious food was not to be found at the pretentious restaurants he referred to generically as La Maison de la Casa House, Continental Cuisine. With three hilarious books over the next two decades--<i>American Fried; Alice, Let's Eat;</i> and<i> Third Helpings</i>--he established himself as, in Craig Claiborne's phrase, "the Walt Whitman of American eats." Trillin's three comic masterpieces are now available in what Trillin calls <i>The Tummy Trilogy</i>.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Calvin Trillin<br><b>Publisher:</b> Farrar, Straus and Giroux<br><b>Published:</b> 09/30/1994<br><b>Pages:</b> 400<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.95lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.20d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780374524173<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>Booklist</i> 10/15/1994 pg. 388<br><i>Library Journal</i> 11/15/1994 pg. 93<br><i>Booklist</i> 07/01/1999 pg. 1909<br><i>Library Journal</i> 02/01/2005 pg. 125<br><i>Newsweek</i> 07/13/2009 pg. 57<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><p><b>Calvin Trillin</b> is the author of twenty books, including <i>Family Man</i> (FSG, 1998) and <i>Messages from My Father </i>(FSG, 1996).
