- Literary Criticism
Chicago/Amsterdam is the title of the book dedicated to his memory, because nothing characterized him better than being a ‘Chicagoan Amsterdammer’.
When August Fry retired from the chair of English and American Literature at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, it was decided to honour him with a liber amicorum that was to have appeared on the occasion of his sixty-fifth birthday. With his passing this volume has taken on a memorial character.
Contributors include former students, and colleagues and friends from within and outside the university. The range of subjects reflect his wide interests - English, American and Canadian literature, from Herman Melville to Emily Dickinson to Saul Bellow and Philip Roth, from James Joyce to Dan Jacobson and Kazuo Ishiguro, from T.S. Eliot to F.R. Leavis, from Irving Layton to Geoffrey Hill, from George Orwell to Ian Fleming.
