RIP STUDS TERKEL



NY Times obit here. One of the great Chicagoans, master and innovator of the oral history. I've been reading his book Working all year long and will probably be reading it for years to come, and that's just one of many important works. "The average American has an indigenous intelligence, a native wit. It’s only a question of piquing that intelligence."

The Chicago Reader just published a recent interview with Studs on the editing process, the print edition is great, this is a longer web version:
