The Fiddler in the Subway: And Other Great Pieces You May Have Missed by Gene Weingarten

5.0

This is a simply amazing collection, both in terms of writing and in content. I wish it were twice as long. The topics are wonderfully varied - a children's party performer called "The Great Zucchini", the ghost writer for the Hardy Boys, parents who have accidentally left their babies or toddlers in their carseats in the backseats (to die horribly), Gary Trudeau and wounded veterans, Weingarten's father's old age, and the world-famous violin maestro who played his Stradivarius in the DC subway station one morning. Read it, you won't be sorry.
