In memory of Richard Schickel - Colleague, friend and on camera participant Cooper & Hemingway: The True Gen
Dick-
What a run, man. Your body of work is secure, down all the
days. As is your place in the critical pantheon. Thanks so much for making The
True Gen a far better and more lucid work. I'll miss the emails. Your wit and
warmth and spot-on observations. No doubt you've already found a battery of
colleagues upstairs who listen rapt as you savage The Searchers, and so many
other hallowed works you just "knew" were terribly over-rated. You
marched to your own drummer! What a run, man.
