Professor Krasny to Retire from hosting 'Forum' on KQED Public Radio

SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER -- But Krasny, an English professor at San Francisco State University who has been teaching longer than he’s been broadcasting, is most animated discussing writers he had “the great good fortune” to interview, including some he admired “enormously.” Tom Stoppard, Gloria Steinem, Don DeLillo, Philip Roth, Saul Bellow, Salman Rushdie and Toni Morrison are on the list, as are local novelists Amy Tan and Isabel Allende, who became dear friends.
