Paul Heyer is professor of communication studies at Wilfrid Laurier University.
A very insightful window into a creative period that was all too
short.
*Communication Booknotes Quarterly*
Heyer's brilliance in developing this book is based on formidable
research into Welles' creative output, interviews, books, papers,
studies, and transcripts of every aspect or person that entered
Welles's career.... Impressive
*H-Net: Humanities and Social Science Reviews Online*
At last Orson Welles's radio work gets the attention it deserves!
Paul Heyer makes the compelling case that Welles should be regarded
as a formidable creative force in radio as much as he is in film
and theater, backing it up with impressive research and a lively,
engaging writing style. This fascinating study sheds light not just
on Welles's work generally, but on U.S. radio history and the
emergence of sound as an art form.
*Michele Hilmes, author of Radio Voices: American Broadcasting,
1922-1952*
