Studs Terkel: Politics, Culture, but Mostly Conversation. Speakers include Alan Wieder, Haki Madhubuti, Kathy Kelly and Kevin Coval . Refreshments provided.
Alan Wieder’s Studs Terkel: Politics, Culture, but Mostly Conversation
is the first comprehensive book about this man. Drawing from over one
hundred interviews of people who knew and worked with Studs, Alan Wieder
creates a
multi-dimensional portrait of a run-of-the-mill guy from Chicago who,
in public life, became an acclaimed author and raconteur, while
managing, in his private life, to remain a mensch.
