About the Book:
Perhaps Studs Terkel‘s best-known book, Working is a compelling, fascinating look at jobs and the people who do them.
Consisting of over 100 interviews conducted with everyone from gravediggers to studio heads, this book provides a timeless snapshot of people’s feelings about their working lives, as well as a relevant and lasting look at how work fits into American life.
What they say:
“I cannot find words to express sufficiently my admiration for Studs Terkel’s Working…. Only an interviewer of genius, exploiting the tape recorder as hardly anyone else has done, could possibly have brought it forth.” — Lewis Mumford
About the Author:
Studs Terkel‘s first love was acting. He played gangsters in radio soap operas, starred in the 1950s television show Studs’ Place, and appeared in such films as John Sayles’s Eight Men Out. The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of twelve books of oral history passed away in 2008 at the age of 96. |
