CALVIN TRILLIN

Calvin Trillin, author of FEEDING A YEN: Savoring Local Specialties from Kansas City to Cuzco (Random House; May 6, 2003), has been acclaimed in fields of writing that are remarkably diverse.

Trillin was born and raised in Kansas City, Mo., and now lives in New York. He graduated from Yale in 1957,
