After his childhood of “shabby gentility,” in Baltimore, Murray Kempton’s New York newspaper columns spanned the 20 century with clear insights about who America was leaving behind. We talk with Andrew Holter, the editor of a new collection of Kempton’s journalism.
Holter will speak at Writer's LIVE at Enoch Pratt Library Tuesday April 15, and at the Union Market location of Politics and Prose in Washington, D.C. on Thurs. May 8.
