When I, a high school student in the boondocks, found his first collection of criticism, "A World on Film", in a second-hand bookstore over 30 years ago, a door was opened to wonderful movies and directors unknown to me. Later, I discovered his theatre criticism and book reviews, which pointed me toward plays, novels, and biographies that enriched my reading life. As I read and re-read his criticism over the decades, I came to appreciate his prose as much as his opinions; like all great critics, he was first and foremost a great writer.
