Underappreciated Literature: Cornell Woolrich
The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
In today’s edition of our summer reading series on Underappreciated Literature, we’ll look at the life and work of suspense writer Cornell Woolrich. He’s best known for writing the short story that Hitchcock’s “Rear Window” was based on, and he’s credited with being one of the founding fathers of noir fiction. Francis M. Nevins, Woolrich’s biographer and a professor at Saint Louis University School of Law, joins us.
