“For more than 30 years, Henry Kisor has reigned supreme as a book editor and literary critic — the undisputed emperor of fiction and nonfiction, poetry and prose, biography and memoir. Ever eloquent and fiercely incorruptible, his decrees have always been minimalist in style, and were generally drawn up on Post-It notes… Today is the last day that Henry will sit in the book maven’s catbird seat — a spot he first occupied at the old Chicago Daily News (from 1973-78) and has held at the Sun-Times ever since. When he leaves the building — and heads off into that great field of dreams known as retirement — he will carry away with him a great deal of history and authority, as well as a lifetime of achievement and wild adventure.”
