Synopsis:

The twelve contemporary fiction writers interviewed in Passion and
        Craft go beyond the merely autobiographical, revealing that, despite
        their differences, they share passionate devotion and discipline for their
        craft.
      Included are Richard Ford, winner in 1995 of both the Pulitzer Prize
        and the PEN/Faulkner Award; Gina Berriault, 1997 winner of the National
        Book Critics Circle Award; Bobbie Ann Mason; T. Coraghessan Boyle; Rick
        Bass; Leonard Michaels; Christopher Tilghman; Thom Jones; Julia Alvarez;
        Andre Dubus; Jayne Anne Phillips; and Tobias Wolff.
      Their comments will interest readers devoted to their novels and stories,
        other writers, and aspiring writers.

Review: "The interviews reveal not only the personalities of authors, but also their approaches to writing fiction, poetry, and memoir, and their struggles to achieve with their pen what they envision in their hearts and heads." -- April Leo, The Bloomsbury Review
