On January 9. Bob Goldsborough of the Chcago Tribune published a fine obituary of Lee Sandlin, the man I described in "A poet of Fact" as "arguably . . . Illinois’ best writer."
In only 800 words I was able only to assert my case in support of my judgment, not demonstrate it with excerpts that might enable readers to come to their own mind. For that I advise you to read Whet Moser's remembrance in Chicago magazine of Lee and what made him so good at what he did.
