Calvin Trillin is an American journalist, humorist, and novelist. He is best known for his humorous writings about food and eating, but he has also written much serious journalism, comic verse, and several books of fiction.

After a stint in the U.S. Army, he worked as a reporter for “Time” magazine before joining the staff of “The New Yorker” in 1963. His reporting for “The New Yorker” on the racial integration of the University of Georgia was published in his first book, “An Education in Georgia.” He wrote the magazine?s “U.S. Journal” series from 1967 to 1982, covering local events both serious and quirky throughout the United States. He has also written for “The Nation” magazine and has written more pieces for “The Nation” than any other single person. Much of Trillin?s nonfiction includes references to his life and family. The most autobiographical of his works are “Messages from My Father,” “Family Man,” and an essay in the March 27, 2006 “New Yorker,” “Alice, Off the Page,” discussing his late wife.

Trillin?s writing also include a collection of short stories, “Barnett Frummer Is An Unbloomed Flower” (1969), and three comic novels, “Runestruck” (1977), “Floater” (1980), and “Tepper Isn?t Going Out” (2001). He also wrote “With All Disrespect” (1985), “If You Can?t Say Something Nice” (1987), “Travels with Alice” (1989), “Enough?s Enough (and Other Rules of Life)” (1990), and “Remembering Denny” (1993).
