This is a fun book about the lives and careers of several ventriloquists, written by someone very familiar with the art. Vents are not celebrated as extensively as they should be, and so this is a welcome volume!
My favorite chapters were the ones on Edgar Bergen and Paul Winchell. The Winchell chapter particularly piqued my interest; I would love to find his autobiography now, which is not readily available. The Shari Lewis chapter was also very interesting.
Some great insights into the craft of ventriloquism, as well as thoughtful studies of these expert practitioners.
