On March 9, Chicago Public Radio’s "Eight Forty-Eight" program aired a nice tribute to Wayne Booth (1921-2005). David Thompson, Associate Dean for Planning and Programs at the University of Chicago, shared memories of Booth and discussed the impact of Booth’s 1961 classic The Rhetoric of Fiction, on literary criticism.
Listen to the tribute on Chicago Public Radio’s Web site.
This May, the University of Chicago Press will publish The Essential Wayne Booth.
Read an excerpt from For the Love of It: Amateuring and Its Rivals.
