In Face to Face Allen Vorda offers the reader and in-depth look into the creative process of nine contemporary novelists. Interviews with such diverse writers as Robert Stone, Kazuo Ishiguro, and Marilynne Robinson cover not only the authors' work but also why they became writers, their writing habits, and opinions about other writers' books. Face To Face will appeal to readers of contemporary fiction as well as to literary critics and scholars. |
