Dear Friends and Colleagues:

I'm sorry to report that KB's long-time friend and collaborator, Denis
Donoghue, passed away a couple of weeks ago at the age of 93. His obituary
appears in today's *New York Times*:

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/17/books/denis-donoghue-dead.html

I had the honor of introducing Donoghue at the KBS Triennial at Duquesne in
1996 (thanks Richard Thames!). Donoghue introduces KB's collected
fiction, *Here
and Elsewhere* (
https://parlorpress.com/products/here-and-elsewhere-the-collected-fiction-of-kenneth-burke).
You can hear Donoghue lecturing on the "Arts without Mystery" as part of a
six-hour BBC production here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p00h2cxd.

I've attached a review by KB of Donoghue's *The Sovereign Ghost *from
*Equipment
for Living*.

Cheers,
Dave
