«Mr. Stern wrote more than 20 books of fiction and nonfiction, mostly while teaching literature and creative writing at the University of Chicago. There he was at the center of a writerly cohort that included Philip Roth and Saul Bellow, and his classroom became a showcase for visiting literary eminences.»
