R.I.P. Studs Terkel

Famed writer and oral historian Studs Terkel passed away this past Saturday.

He will be missed.

Indeed, in a time when few people seem interested in the type of people he interviewed for his book Working (a collection of interviews with working people) and even fewer people seem interested in the type of people he interviewed for his books Hard Times (an oral history of the Great Depression) and The Good War (an oral history of World War II), he will be especially missed. By me, at least.
