Book Reviews of Jean Shepherd: Security Blankets
Book Review: Great to hear Shep, even with second-rate material
Summary: 3 Stars
I've been a Jean Shepherd fan since my high school days in N.J., when he was at his radio prime out of New York City. This collection of Cd's captures his inimitable personality, his infectious laugh and his general sense of the absurd. Unfortunately, it has none of the semi-autobiographical reminiscence that made "A Christmas Story" such a popular favorite and which mark Shepard's most memorable work, at least for me. Perhaps this is only available in the printed form -- check out, for example, "A Fistful of Fig Newtons" A Fistful of Fig Newtons. But even second-rate Shepherd is worth the price! Technically, my only complaint -- which others have made as well -- is that the producers did not insert tracks, so that there's no way to go directly to favorite sections of these 45-minute programs.
Summary of Jean Shepherd: Security Blankets
Radio Again is pleased to present 4 classic radio performances by raconteur Jean Shepherd from the archives of Hartwest Productions.In Security Blankets , Jean Shepherd expounds on the joy of working in radio, monster movies, the beauty of the kazoo, his quick-change artistry as a theater performer, and on human illusions, foibles, and impenetrable human complexity. What is your security blanket? This is vintage Shepherd -- humorous, serious, witty, clever and silly all in the same show!
Includes liner notes with excerpts from the biography EXCELSIOR, YOU FATHEAD! The Art and Enigma of JEAN SHEPHERD By Eugene B. Bergmann.
