Frederick Busch, an elegant, prolific writer of brilliant fiction and non-fiction A Memory of War and Letters to a Fiction Writer, died Thursday, February 23, in Manhattan, a place he loved and immortalized in his books.
A professor of writing and literature at Colgate University in Hamilton, NY, for 37 years, Busch shaped and inspired dozens of bright young writers who went on to successful careers of their own.
Busch, who richly deserved the accolades and awards he garnered over the years (National Jewish Book Award; American Academy of Arts and Letters Fiction Award; PEN/Malamud Prize), was 64.
