"What makes the great American fiction writers tick? Like so many of us, editor Will Blythe was intrigued by the question. His curiosity led him to ask twenty-six of the most exciting and accomplished novelists of our time why they do what they do. To pursue a vocation like fiction writing these days demands an almost religious sense of mission, with little chance of making a living, let alone a fortune. (And yet it sometimes seems there are more fiction writers than readers!) This landmark anthology offers a privileged, behind-the-scenes look at the imaginative processes of some of America's best writers. Featuring original essays by such literary lions as Norman Mailer, Robert Stone, Pat Conroy and Terry McMillan, along with work by rising stars Rick Moody, Elizabeth Gilbert and Denis Johnson, the book offers eloquent (and occasionally bemused) proof of why the art of fiction writing will endure." [jacket copy] Includes essays by Mary Gaitskill, Jim Harrison, Amy Hempel, Ann Patchett, David Foster Wallace and Joy Williams, among others. "By turns cantankerous and dreamy, and an inspiration to writers and readers alike---a living monument to the vitality and value of the writing life."--Kirkus Reviews. Pristine hardcover w/bright corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, all quite presentable.
