BEST OF DANIEL PINKWATER Everyday Life

These commentaries by one of National Public Radio's most amusing contributors are short and humorous. Most of the segments were presented on NPR's All Things Considered. They are delivered in a direct, friendly, informal manner, as if the author were speaking to the listener. Tape quality is good, and this collection is perfect for the audio format. The author enlivens several pieces by contrasting his own voice with the peculiar accent he gives his father. This selection could be addictive; it stands up well on the fifth or sixth listening--if one is tuned in to Pinkwater's off-the-wall thinking. C.R.W. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN 92]
