The author of this piece, Cal Trillin, wrote a lovely, poignant, funny book that was a memorial to his wife (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/95961.About_Alice) and also a really silly book about a man sitting in his car hogging parking spots as a form of obstinance/therapy. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/138993.Tepper_Isn_t_Goin...

Enjoyed them both very much!

Calvin Trillin is one of my favorite writers. The nonfiction—both serious and humorous—he has written for the New Yorker since the 1960s is particularly good.
