The New Fiction
Twelve prominent writers comment on themselves, the art and practice of writing, and the status of fiction in present-day America.
The Lost Saranac Interviews
Presents transcripts of conversations had and photographs taken at Saranac Lake in New York, where distinguished writers--including Margaret Atwood, Joyce Carol Oates, and Russell Banks--congregated in the late 1970s to discuss their work and the joys and hardships of authorship.
Conversations with Kurt Vonnegut
Gathers interviews with Vonnegut from each period of his career and offers a brief profile of his life and accomplishments.
Conversations with John Gardner

An essential introduction to the non-fiction writing of the inventor of New Journalism.
Conversations with Tom Wolfe
Literary journalist, ""lowly social historian,"" ""chronicler of his times,"" and ""champion of realism"" are among the many epithets heaped upon Tom Wolfe by himself and his myriad admirers and critics. In this collection of interviews spanning his richly productive career, Wolfe is seen as a writer imitating no one and riding the crest of each latest wave in contemporary America. For more than a quarter of a century he has been the vivid and varied chronicler of our time--from the Californian car customizers and Ken Kesey's Merry Pranksters of the sixties to the ambition-driven inhabitants of New York City in the eighties. His hybrid of reporting and fiction-writing has received perhaps mo...
