The transcribed conversations were shaped and stitched together to form the first Playboy Interview, a feature as memorable in its own way as the centerfold. In the nearly two decades since then, through assassinations, the civil rights movement, the sexual revolution, the Vietnam war, the women's movement, rock and roll, drugs, the television explosion, and years of tumultuous change, the Playboy Interview has provided revealing portraits of those who most profoundly affect our society. It is one forum where prominent people discuss themselves and their ideas in unusual depth and with surprising frankness. As presidents and poets, artists and athletes, saints and scoundrels have found, Playboy interviews are exhausting. That's because the idea has always been to push harder, to probe more deeply, to ask and ask questions until the interviewer, the editor, and the subject agree that something like the definitive interview has been obtained. Whatever the field of endeavor or the notoriety of the accomplishments, the Playboy Interview presents people as they really speak, sometimes lucidly and eloquently, other times profanely and angrily. Perhaps that's because interviewers are instructed to raise topics not normally discussed for publication~childhood traumas, failed marriages, moments of rage, and yes, when it is appropriate, sexual experiences. This book contains 31 of the most memorable interviews, together with commentary on how the interviews were obtained and what some of the reactions were upon publication. For the general reader, the interviews make fascinating and provocative reading, with many moments of nostalgia and poignancy. The student of journalism will find insights into a unique journalistic form. …

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Conversations with Albert Murrayedited by Roberta S. MaguireAs a cultural critic, biographer, essayist, and novelist, Albert Murray has had a wide-ranging and profound influence on American art in the decades since the Second World War. Artists as diverse as Walker Percy, Romare Bearden, and Wynton Marsalis have drawn from Murray and his ideas on jazz and the blues, modern consciousness, and the role of race in the American identity. His own works include The Hero and the Blues, Train Whistle Guitar, Good Morning Blues: The Autobiography of Count Basie as Told to Albert Murray, The Spyglass Tree, The Blue Devils of Nada, and The Seven Leagues Boots. Yet this is the first book devoted to Murray himself, and fittingly it is based on the kind of conversations that have proven indispensable to his friends in the arts. It brings together twenty interviews with Murray conducted over the last twenty-four years, beginning with an interview shortly after his second book, South to a Very Old Place, was published, and ending with a previously unpublished interview with Roberta S. Maguire. In these conversations Murray discusses those who influenced him-Thomas Mann, Ernest Hemingway, Louis Armstrong, and Duke Ellington-and tells how they helped him develop a philosophy of art based on the blues as well as a new archetype of the American hero, the blues hero. This collection reveals a man who enjoys a good time and a good conversation, a man whose intellectual improvisations move over such subjects as his reminiscences about his native South, his insights about regional culture, and commentaries about the contemporary American scene.Roberta S. Maguire teaches English at the University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh.…
