[KB] RIP Denis Donoghue

[David Williams]

HI Dave-

Thanks for the notice and information.  Donoghue was pleasure at Duquesne, and he also gave a very good talk at the Seton Hall conference on Burke (with Bloom, et al.).  He made many contributions to Burke studies, and he will be missed.

Thanks again, Dave, for letting us know.

David Williams

Subject: [KB] RIP Denis Donoghue

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
