{"product_id":"travels-with-alice-9780374526009","title":"Travels with Alice","description":"This delightful book collects Calvin Trillin's accounts of his trips to Europe with his wife, Alice, and their two daughters. In Taormina, Sicily, they cheerfully disagree with Mrs. Tweedie's 1904 assertion that the beautiful town \"is being spoilt,\" and skip the Grand Tour in favor of swimming holes, table soccer, and taureaux piscine. In Paris, they spend a day on the Champs-Elys?es comparing Freetime's \"le Hitburger\" to McDonald's Big Mac. In Spain, Trillin wonders whether he will run out of Spanish \"the way someone might run out of flour or eggs.\" Filled with Trillin's characteristic humor, \u003ci\u003eTravels with Alice\u003c\/i\u003e is the perfect book for summer travelers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCalvin Trillin\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of many books, including \u003ci\u003eFamily Man \u003c\/i\u003e(FSG, 1998) and \u003ci\u003eMessages from My Father\u003c\/i\u003e (FSG, 1996).
