This article sketches the literary works of writer Andrew Kopkind. Andrew was well educated, but he wore it all pretty lightly. One can't often recall him with his nose in a book and as often as not it was an allusion, a half-quote or a glancing pastiche that made apparent the reading he must have done at some point in the past. Andrew must have had a premonition. The day before he died he dictated the dedication to the collection. He then discussed the suggested subtitle, "Dispatches and Divertissements of a Radical Journalist, 1965-1994." He said he had his doubts and wanted to think about it.
