Cover of Calvin Trillin’s book “Killings”. Beige with the title at top and author’s name at the bottom, with a sepia photo of a simple courtroom, showing a ceiling fan, on right a low platform with desk and chair for the judge, a chair directly in front of the desk, and a window on the wall to the right of the judge. In the far wall from the viewer is a small table with two chairs. Just out of frame on the left is a row of chairs facing the judge’s desk.

It’s after midnight in NYC, so it’s time to wish a happy 90th birthday to one of the great writers/journalists/humorists of the modern American era, Calvin Trillin. #CalvinTrillin #Killings #USJournal #NewYorker
