America's Storyteller

Where can you find the spirit and soul of 20th Century America? Our guest this hour might argue that you need look no further than the plays and screenplays of Texas’ own Horton Foote. In recognition of Dallas’ ongoing Horton Foote Festival, we’ll spend this hour with New York-based critic and biographer Wilborn Hampton, author of “Horton Foote: America’s Storyteller” (Free Press, 2009). Hampton will speak at the Dallas Museum of Art’s Arts & Letters Live event this evening.
