5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful stories
I am going deep on Stud Terkel's oeuvre. His oral histories provide unique insights into America for someone foreign born
4.0 out of 5 stars Famous, Funny, Forthright & Fabalous!
The first time I saw Studs Terkel he was being interviewed on national television as to some of his writings. He was so down to earth, personable, and funny that I enjoyed listening to every word of the answers to questions asked. I bought his book. He wrote about differing personalities and places where he enjoyed having been. It was most interesting to be vicariously on these trips with him. He charms his listeners and readers and audiance. His book is a good investment for a rainy day.
5.0 out of 5 stars No one ever interviewed everyday people better than Terkel
Extraordinary opportunity for the reader to explore the United States in the 20th Century through the distinctive voices of citizens from every walk of life. No one ever interviewed everyday people better than Terkel.

Studs Terkel writes good oral histories well written good condition
This Book is Great!
Based around the loose premise of the 'American Dream' this book charts the struggles and hopes of people from all over the world trying to make their way in America. Containing hundreds of interviews, edited by Studs Terkel himself, this book is humbling, wise and an education.It's full of people shooting from the hip, sharing their truths about what they have experienced and their thoughts on the future.Oh, and don't be put off by the fact that it was written in 1980, the truth don't date.
