I’ve really enjoyed Studs Terkel’s second memoir, Touch and Go, written when he was 95 years old, because it reads more like a who’s who and what’s what of the 20th century than a personal biography. Studs rambles from one story to the next as he takes us from his early days working in his family’s boarding house to his acting days, through his radio days, through his blacklisted days and through his 30 year career as an oral historian. We have 14 of his books at Acorn, including a graphic novel version of Working that I also recommend.
