A review by Edmund Fuller in the Wall Street Journal issue of Jan 31, 1984, said of Fowlie, “Mr. Fowlie himself is a para dox: a gregarious solitary. A gentle reflective man, approachable and friendly though at first briefly shy, one of the qualities that made him a great teacher was a gift for friendship with his students.” The American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters made Fowlie the first recipient of the Vursell Memorial Award of $5,000 in recoginition of his prose style. This was for his autobiography Journal of Rehear~ sals: A Memoir. He has also received two Guggenheim fellowships and three Newberry Library fel lowships. Fowlie has also worked at Bellagio, Italy (Rockefeller Foundation), in the summer of 1981. He taught at Harvard, where he was an instructor for four years; at Yale as assistant professor for five years; at the University of Chicago as associate professor for four years; and at Bennington Col lege as the head of the French department for 12 years. Among his critical writings are: Age of Surrealism; Mal- larme; Humbaud: A Critical Study; Andre Gide: His life and Art; A Reading of Proust; Cli mate of Violence; The French Critic Stendhal; A Reading of Dante’s Inferno; and his re cently published Fifty Poems on Characters in Proust Wallace Fowlie OAK GROVE CAFE 226-7392 HOME COOKED VEGETABLES Hot Biscuits Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner Open 6:00 a.m.-7:45 p.m. Daily (t^X) 1824 S.
