Studs Terkel on the art of interviewing(From the May 2002 issue of The Writer)
Published:
March 19, 2002 | For 50 years, Studs Terkel has created in books and on radio his rough draft of our times by talking mostly to ordinary people—at least 9,000 of them, to be exact. In 10 books of oral history, the voices he has recorded and condensed have told a tale of struggle in 20th-century America—of the things that divide and unite us, of war and peace and Depression, of the way the races get along and don't get along, of growing old, of the kinds of things we do all day at work. |
