Talk Talk: Interviews with Writers covers thirty-five years of interviews with writers that were conducted at the time the writer's latest book was published. Each interview displays the kind of depth and fascinating detail that can only be achieved when the interviewer comes equipped with a deep, broad knowledge of his subject's work. The resulting conversations range over a spectrum of contemporary and classic fiction and nonfiction, revealing much about the writers' impulses, backgrounds, and sources of inspiration. Talk Talk will not only help lay readers gain insight into the works of these important writers but will become a valuable resource for scholars and students.
