Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Fine condition. 241pp. "America's most honored authors, National Book Award winners and finalists, reveal what it means to be a writer. John Updike on the perils and pleasures of writing fiction. Gloria Naylor on a writer's love of books. Thomas Friedman on journalism. Marilynne Robinson on the inspirations for their work. Ron Chernow on research for nonfiction. Joyce Carol Oates on creating characters." [cover copy] "In this collection of 19 essays and interviews, National Book Award winners explore the role of the writer and share the rituals they use to get started writing. Among the contributors are such well-known authors as Gloria Naylor, Paul Monette, E. Annie Proulx, and Norman Rush. Naylor, winner of an NBA for The Women of Brewster Place, tells of entering the African Studies Department at Brooklyn College and learning about all the black writers she did not know existed. Monette, whose Becoming a Man: Half a Life Story won the award for nonfiction in 1992, warns against censorship, while Rush, 1992 fiction award winner for Mating, reminds us of the importance of literature. This collection will inspire all interested in writers, writing, and the creative process. At a time when interest in quality literature seems to be dwindling, this volume, which celebrates the act of writing, the forging of a creative product out of everyday existence, is particularly valuable."--Library Journal. Fine pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Seller Inventory # RUB3182
