On this edition of The Arts Section, the theme is the written word. Host Gary Zidek checks in with the president of the Chicago-based American Writers Museum to find out how the institution has adapted since the beginning of the pandemic. Then, Gary revisits a couple of his favorite author interviews from the past few years. With SEX AND THE CITY back in the news, Gary pulled up his interview with Candace Bushnell. And Gary brings back a conversation he had with best-selling author Colin Dickey, who wrote about our obsession with the “unexplained”. And later, we’ll get to know the Dueling Critics a little better, Gary catches up with the Chicago Reader’s Kerry Reid to talk about her journey to becoming a theater critic.
