Review
Lots of stories here, including from a few people you’ve heard of (Rip Torn, Pauline Kael); those who did OK during the depression along with many who were impoverished during that time; true stories and some obviously not true stories. As always, Terkel had a great ability to get people to talk, and a great talent for editing the no doubt rambling conversation into compelling narratives.
