Review of Jimmy Breslin: The Art of Climbing Tenement Stairs

John Kalish makes great use of his longtime relationship with Pulitzer Prize winning author & columnist Jimmy Breslin to present this picture of one of New York's singular voices. Breslin is unapologetic as he explains his motivations, his passion for keeping the voice of the "little guy" alive and well in the Big Apple.
It's a well put together look at the kind of journalism that is rapidly disappearing from local newspapers, but is so desperately needed.
This half hour would work as a noontime special, part of a literary block of programs, or just about anywhere!
