This first person essay is a nice reminiscence about an evening with Art Buchwald when the narrator was a student 30 years ago. It is well written and well read. I'm not sure it has a particular point to make other than to provide an enjoyable remembrance of some time spent with a legend, and it does it well.
What a wonderful voice for sharing her memory!
She has such a pleasant voice and such a cute way of telling her story.
I feel that I was being introduced to many colorful people and I was very happy to make their aquaintance and I certainly hope to meet more of them and hear their stories.
Great slice o' life. Terrific story about an American icon. Told in a very casual, chatty and completely captivating way.
I loved the part about not knowing what cocktail to order and how she tried to remember, from movies, what the names of cocktails were. And then realizing that she was underage and being worried about the police breaking in and busting her. Hilarious.
