He had studied at Rutgers under John Ciardi, worked at the Breadloaf Writing Workshops with Robert Frost and Ralph Ellison, written hundreds of reviews for Kirkus Reviews, and taught alongside John Gardner and Bernard Malamud at Bennington College for nearly a decade. Soon after the New Yorker story appeared, Cheuse wrote a freelance magazine piece about a new, publicly funded broadcast network called National Public Radio, and a relationship of reviewer and radio was born.< 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century$vReviews 606 $aBooks and reading 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aBooks and reading. 676 $a809/.04 700 $aCheuse$b Alan$01512235 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785743203321 996 $aListening to the page$93746038 997 $aUNINA
