Description: Off the Page: Writers Talk About Beginnings, Endings, and Everything In Between – Carole Burns
From the back cover:
Writer Carole Burns has put together an insightful, entertaining book about writing and the writing life, featuring forty-three of our foremost contemporary authors. Reading Off the Page can feel like being at a dinner party with a Pulitzer Prize winner on one side and your favorite detective writer on the other as the third bottle of wine is opened and everyone is beginning to relax.
In interviews on washingtonpost.com, Burns has gotten to the heart of writing by asking such questions as: Can good sex be written? Martin Amis doesn’t think so. Are characters based on people the authors know? Richard Ford says no; Russell Banks says sometimes. Did you ever have doubts about your writing? Absolutely, says Michael Cunningham.
These and other authors – including Edward P. Jones, Jhumpa Lahiri, Marisha Pessl, Walter Mosley, Margot Livesy, and Alice McDermott – talk honestly and forthrightly about the art of fiction.
