Studs Terkel, -the Chicagoan’s Chicagoan, has passed away. My first introduction to Studs was through “Working” but I think it was “Division Street” that really made his mark. The obituary from the Chicago Tribune called his books “written radio”, which had never occurred to me, but it’s quite an apt description.
