    Extractions: By CALVIN TRILLIN Published: January 26, 2007 Skip to next paragraph Enlarge This Image Henning Wagenbreth IT was only a matter of time before someone was able to spot the test driver deep within me. O.K., test parker: I was asked if I would do a road test of the self-parking device on the new Lexus LS 460 L. Although I like to think that I was being perceived as a laconic man with steel nerves and steady hands, I suspect that the invitation had something to do with my authorship of “Tepper Isn’t Going Out,” which is considered by most scholars to have been the first parking novel. It might even have had something to do with the fact that in 1964 I was the founding co-editor of Beautiful Spot: A Magazine of Parking, which I’ve seen referred to as a one-issue publication even though we prefer to say that the second issue hasn’t come out yet. (We’ve had some production difficulties.) If I were asked to name my talent — talent, that is, in the way the Miss America pageant uses the word talent, as in “Miss West Virginia will now do her talent” — I would say “parallel parking.” For the second issue of Beautiful Spot: A Magazine of Parking, I’ve been preparing an article on how I came up with the term “slicing the bread” to describe maneuvering into a spot that leaves only the width of a bread slice between your bumpers and the bumpers of the cars ahead of and behind you. In a later issue, I intend to discuss “breaking the matzo” — getting into a spot so small that a matzo would crack if you tried to place it between the relevant bumpers. Just for the record, the last time I broke a matzo was May 1994, on Riverside Drive, between 83rd and 84th; unfortunately, there were no witnesses.

    Extractions: Calvin Trillin Calvin Trillin has been acclaimed in fields of writing that are remarkably diverse. As someone who has published solidly reported pieces in The New Yorker for thirty years, he has been called "perhaps the finest reporter in America". His antic commentary on the American scene- which now appears weekly in Time magazine, and his books chronicling his adventures as a "happy eater" have earned him renown as "a classic American humorist". His best-selling book Remembering Denny was hailed as "an elegiac, disturbing and altogether brilliant memoir". Trillin began his career as a writer for Time and then became a staff writer for The New Yorker, and then a columnist for The Nation. There he wrote what USA Today called "simply the funniest regular column in journalism". That column became syndicated from 1986 through 1995. In 1996, he returned to Time as a weekly columnist. To date the column has been collected in five books. His most recent book, Messages From My Father, which was published in 1996 as has become a best-seller. This is his 19th book. So far, his work has included two comic novels, a collection of short stories, a travel book, an account of desegregation at The University of Georgia, family memoirs, and three antic books on eating - American Fried, Alice- Lets Eat, and Third Helpings, - which have been compiled into a single volume called "The Tummy Trilogy"

Main I've wrestled with the Calvin Trillin in my head for hours and I have come up with the following conclusion: (1) I can do this post because (a) Calvin Trillin's "Come Hungry" tour isn't about giving away secrets it's about (i) spending time with Calvin Trillin, (ii) having food presented to you without having to wait for it, and (iii) enjoying the most exclusive, sought after New Yorker Festival experience you can have next to watching John Updike's interpretative dance on the more subtle aspects of "Madame Bovary." In other words, doing this post will not diminish or hurt this tour's popularity: I'm merely going to share with the masses what happens when you go on the tour, what you see, hear and eat, and it will most likely (i) make people want to go on the tour more than they did before and (ii) clue people into some great New York eats. And so, Calvin Trillin In My Head, consider yourself pinned. Here's an in-depth account of the "Come Hungry" tour. [Note: The picture above is from a set of press pictures sent to me by Emily of Emdashes , the New Yorker blog. She is eagerly awaiting the account I'm about to write.

The notion of an audience of one is promoted by many fundamentalist Christians who focus their energies exclusively on pleasing God and by a number of marketing consultants who instruct clients and devise campaigns to communicate with the individual consumer. For some of us, however, the audience of one is the person with whom we share our bed and raise our family. Consider this passage from a column written by Garry Wills two weeks after the death of Ida Terkel:
