About the Author:
Jonathan Bing is editor of PW's "Interviews."
From Library Journal:
Fifty authors, from Beryl Bainbridge to Tom Wolfe, are represented in this fourth collection of author interviews from Publishers Weekly. Readers will find new authors, leading practitioners, and established authors striking out in new directions. Once again, these are excellent pieces, admirably capturing the person as well as the writer's philosophies and career experiences. We meet Edwidge Danticat, who, when a question is too personal, "becomes flustered, nose scrunched in distress, polite smile suddenly frozen." Fannie Flagg, who radiates "down-home, screen-porch sweetness," describes how she needs "a lot of solitude to write." Other featured authors include Andrea Barrett, Don DeLillo, Nora Roberts, Roxana Robinson, James Salter, and Studs Terkel. Each interview is signed, dated, and well written. Readers and writers will enjoy getting to know these authors. Recommended for public and academic libraries.
