"Jean Shepherd of
WOR in New York regards radio as a new medium for a new kind of
novel that he writes nightly. The mike is his pen and paper.
His audience and their knowledge of the daily events of the world
provide his characters, his scenes, and moods. It is his idea
that, just as Montaigne was the first to use the page to record his
reactions to the new world of printed books, he is the first to use
radio as an essay and novel form for recording our common awareness
of a totally new world of universal human participation in all human
events, private or collective." |
