OrangeReviewStarListeners fond of the great TV talk shows of the late 1960s to early 1980s will be delighted to hear Cavett read his own observations about some of the more memorable entertainers and cultural figures who have appeared on his eponymous show, from Groucho Marx and Katharine Hepburn to Norman Mailer and Gore Vidal. He also talks openly about his personal experience with depression and with wonderful warmth recollects his childhood growing up in Nebraska. Now a blogger for the New York Times, Cavett further provides political and social commentary on the pivotal moments that defined his generation, e.g., Vietnam, the Cold War, and Watergate. Highly recommended for fans of this living legend and for public libraries' humor and popular culture collections.—Barbara Valle, El Paso P.L., TX
