Conversations with Joseph Heller (Paperback)

Spanning three decades of his literary career, from "Catch-22" to comments on the Persian Gulf War, Conversations with Joseph Heller contains a selection of the most significant, informative, and interesting interviews with one of America's foremost novelists.

In these interviews Heller reveals his interest in the structure, effects, and themes of his works, his satirical purposes, the influences upon him, his writing methods, his political opinions, and a host of other topics that challenge and engage his lively and reflective mind.

Included here are two interviews not previously published, interviews from student newspapers and university magazines, and two highly comic "anti-interviews" with close friends Mel Brooks and George Mandel.

Here are two largely serious interviews with his friends Robert Alan Aurthur and Barbara Gelb. Also in this collection are Heller's conversations with authors Martin Amis and George Plimpton and a probing exchange with Bill Moyers about democracy, politics, and Heller's "Picture This." Among the interviews are his talks with Sam Merrill in "Playboy," Paul Krassner of "The Realist," and with Chet Flippo of "Rolling Stone."
