TERKEL, STUDS Talking to Myself. A Memoir of My Times.
New York Pantheon Books, 1973 Hard Cover
316 pages, cloth, 1st edition, frayed dust jacket. From the AND Reference Database: "Studs Terkel (popular name of Louis Terkel), interviewer, actor and writer, born in New York City, New York, USA. His studies at the University of Chicago culminated in a law degree (1934) but after failing the bar exams, he took a job with the federal government as a statistician. He returned to Chicago in 1935, joined the Federal Writer's Project, wrote weekly radio shows for WGN, and also played the villain in several radio soap operas. In the late 1930s he acted with the Chicago Repertory Theatre, where he continued through the 1940s and the 1950s while renaming himself "Studs' after the James T Farrell character, Studs Lonigan. In the 1940s he broadcast news and sports, and as a disc jockey, he promoted, among others, Mahalia Jackson. From about 1949--53 he hosted Stud's Place, a Chicago television programme where he played a bartender who interviewed various distinguished guests. He was blacklisted in 1953 for "signing an anti-Jim Crow petition,' and, unable to get work, he turned to a socially progressive radio station, WFMT. Practically a volunteer in the beginning, he developed the hour-long radio programme that became the Studs Terkel Show and which in 1962 won the prestigious Pre-Italia Award. In 1967 his lifelong fascination with "the man of inchoate thought' yielded the first of his oral histories called Division Street: America. It was followed by a series of edited interviews, including Hard Times: An Oral History of the Great Depression (1970), Working: People Talk About What They Do All Day and How They Feel About What They Do (1974), and Race: How Blacks and Whites Feel and Think About the American Obsession (1991)."

From The New York Times Book Review: Tremendously compelling, somehow dramatic and intimate at the same time, as if one has stumbled on private accounts in letters long locked in attic trunks...Mr. Terkel's book gives the American experience in World War Two great immediacy...In terms of plain human interest, Mr. Terkel may well have put together the most vivid collection of World War Two sketches ever gathered between covers.
