EL Doctorow died last year, and the literary world—well, at least the English-speaking part of it—mourned. I know I did. He was one of the finest writers ever to grace the planet, and so when I spotted this collection of stories, even though I understood that I had probably read most or all of them already I snapped it up. Thanks go to Net Galley and Random House for the DRC, which I received free in exchange for this honest review. The collection will be available to the public November 1.I am bemused by “The Writer in the Family”; I had read it before, but it’s worth reading again. Families are complicated, and Doctorow deftly creates a deeply dysfunctional dynamic with this one. Check out the premise: “In 1955 my father died with his ancient mother still alive in a nursing home. The old lady was ninety and hadn’t even known he was ill. Thinking the shock might kill her, my aunts told her that he had moved to Arizona for his bronchitis…And so it came about that as we mourned him in our stocking feet, my grandmother was bragging to her cronies about her son’s new life in the dry air of the desert.”But Grandma can’t understand why her son isn’t writing to her; this will never do. Thus the aunts approach the protagonist. “You’re the writer in the family,” they open, and then present the obligation to him, that he must forge a letter to Grandma from his late father. The aunts will go to the nursing home and read it aloud to her; all he has to do is write something. And of course one letter isn’t enough; there must be more, more, more, and so even as he is grieving his father’s loss, our protagonist, the good son, nephew, grandson that doesn’t make waves, is required to plagiarize one letter after another in his father’s name, until a shift alters the equation.Because Doctorow wasn’t just any writer, I visited his Wikipedia page before writing this review, and I learned that his first name was Edgar and that he was named for Edgar Allan Poe; he was expected to become a writer. I trust his parents were satisfied. At the same time, I found myself wondering how many times he had been told that since he was the writer in the family, it was up to him to do this, that, the other. All speculation, of course, but they say to write what you know, and perhaps to some extent, he did.On my actual bookshelves, the ones made with wood and that have books made of cardboard, cloth, and paper on them, I have half a shelf devoted to this writer’s work, and so when I downloaded this DRC, I went and retrieved the collection of his short stories that I already owned (and paid for), All the Time in the World, which was published in 2011. I wanted to see what difference there was. I found that this new collection has two stories I hadn’t read before, and so that was where my focus began. For those that also already have this author’s complete works up to now, the new short stories are “Baby Wilson” and “Child, Dead, in the Rose Garden”. The other difference is that the short story on which his outstanding novel The Waterworks is based is presented here. That one is short indeed, and it’s strong enough that it’s easy to see why he selected it to expand into novel form (which I highly recommend).Ordinarily I would say that I’d have been annoyed had I paid full jacket price for this one, with a dozen reprinted short stories I already own; the premise for a novel I already own; and two lonely stories that are new to me. But this is Doctorow, and so my rules are different. Were I not a book blogger and able to get a DRC, I would probably wait for this one to turn up in used bookstores so that I could buy it on the cheap, but one way or another, I would have to have it. And to be sure, both stories—though maybe not good choices for the pregnant reader, given that they involve a dead child and an abducted newborn—are absolutely brilliant. Baby Wilson in particular builds irresistibly and is a masterpiece, but the voice in the Rose Garden story is guaranteed to produce chills.I also reread my old favorites, among them “Walter John Harmond”. Whoa.As always, Doctorow’s writing is hyper-literate. If you try to read this while doing something else, you will be lost, and I don’t recommend it to anyone for whom English is not the mother tongue unless the reader is so steeped in the language as to be comfortable with heavy literary fiction.Don’t try to skim; savor it.Highly recommended to the fluent reader that loves great literary fiction.

More than reflections, this book is like sitting down with Carol and hearing her personal take on so many people that she worked with through the years. So much of the early shows are coming back to me in reading this!

Imagine a time when whole families sat together and watched a hilarious comedy sketch show every week. Everybody could watch because the comedy was free of sexual content or brutal humor. What you got was flat out TALENT from everyone on the show. There was pathos but no anger. You would have to imagine this because it will probably never happen again. I am so grateful to have lived during the Carol Burnett show.

Incredibly thrilled that Carol Burnett wrote In Such Good Company. I have adored Carol and her show since I was a little girl. MeTV airs The Carol Burnett Show every week day night. It still has me rolling and roaring with laughter. This book covers every little bit you might want to know about each episode with wonderful behind the scenes details. There is nothing mean or unkind which I am grateful for. I have these actors on a well deserved pedestal and that is where I plan to always keep them. Thank you Carol for giving even more of yourself. You are the ultimate best!

The Carol Burnett show remains one of my all-time favorites. How wonderful to share her reminisces of those days when we were entertained by top notch talents in hilarious skits. It was so enjoyable to read the dialogue from some of the more memorable skits and to see just how the shows were put together by the production team. The Scarlet O'Hara takeoff with the draperies and the curtain rod is still one of the funniest skits ever and I cried with laughter just thinking about it when I read her description it. It was the costume designer who came up with the idea.Carol is truly a great lady as well as a great entertainer. In her reminisces she gives so much credit to her co-stars, the guest stars, and to members of the team....the writers, the dancers, the various designers, even the cameramen. Thank you, Carol, for the memories. How we miss having you in our homes on a weekly basis.

If you were a fan of the variety shows back in the 60’s and 70’s, you’re going to love this. I was raised on Carol Burnett, Sony and Cher, Jackson Five, Jackie Gleason, Hee Haw and Johnny Carson to name a few. These were entertainers, unlike today. I found myself remembering many of the skits she details and still getting a chuckle out of them. I didn’t know much about her start in Show Biz and enjoyed finding out how she started out and how tough it was. Damn, you had to work you butt off back then just to survive. Imagine your first job on Off Broadway as a ladies hat check girl. You know the money was just poring in! If you’re an old fan or a new fan, you’ll enjoy this look into how her show started and evolved into one of the “must see” shows of the day. The only drawback was some of the skits she recalls might have been funny on the set, but just reading it lacks the comedic genius of her cast of dear friends. “Thank you for the time you shared with us. “ It was the best of times. Five Stars
