Book review - "Sailor and Fiddler" by Herman Wouk

 I once read a lot of Wouk - well the war novels, Marjorie Morningstar, Youngblood Hawk. I sensed even then what was autobiographical.

Easy to read semi memoir. Well written (no surprise). Useful summary of his career. Enjoyed the account of workin in radio and getting into the navy via the fact he worked for Fred Allen. Mentions the drowning death of his young son. His wife is all wise all knowing - she'd just died. Not a lot of in depth analysis of his self. But useful and short.
