…sometimes she looked at her boyfriend and wondered, "But will he love me like Calvin loves Alice?"
I recently read a short book by Calvin Trillin, called About Alice. It was a tribute to his late wife, who he considered his muse for all his writings. After finishing the book in one night (no joke, its about 75 pages) I half heartedly decided I wanted to be just like her. But I think the reason I loved her most, was reading how her husband loved her so eloquently.
