Terkel, Studsorig. Louis Turkel(born May 16, 1912, New York, N.Y., U.S.) U.S. radio personality and author. He moved with his family to Chicago when he was eight. Terkel gave up a legal career to become a radio disk jockey and interviewer, exposure that led to his own television show in 1950. In 1953, blacklisted from television for his leftist leanings, he returned to radio, continuing at the same station for 45 years. His books include Division Street (1967), about Chicago; Hard Times (1970), about the Depression; Working (1974), on Americans and their jobs; The Good War, on World War II (1984, Pulitzer Prize); and Race (1992), on American feelings about race. |

With a forward by Studs Terkel, Ramblin' Man: The Life And Times Of Woody Guthrie is an in-depth biography of patriot, political radical, and musician Woody Guthrie, as told by Ed Cray, the first biographer granted access to the Woody Guthrie Archive. Studs Terkel treasured Griffin as a "bone deep" humanist, passionately empathetic to "the other. She called the work "poetic journalism," but it reads like poetry to me in the same way that work by her great Chicago friend and oral historian Studs Terkel (see his masterpieces Working and Race) captures the poetry of everyday speech. |
