Conversations with William Maxwell collects thirty-eight
interviews, public speeches, and remarks that span five decades of
the esteemed novelist and New Yorker editor's career. The
interviews collectively address the entirety of Maxwell's literary
work--with in-depth discussion of his short stories, essays, and
novels including They Came Like Swallows, The Folded Leaf, and the
American Book award-winning So Long, See You Tomorrow--as well as
his forty-year tenure as a fiction editor working with such
luminaries as John Updike, John Cheever, Eudora Welty, Vladimir
Nabokov, and J.D. Salinger. Maxwell's words spoken before a crowd,
some previously unpublished, pay moving tribute to literary friends
and mentors, and offer reflections on the artistic life, the
process of writing, and his Midwestern heritage. All retain the
reserved poignancy of his fiction. The volume publishes for the
first time the full transcript of Maxwell's extensive interviews
with his biographer and, in an introduction, correspondence with
writers including Updike and Saul Bellow, which enlivens the
stories behind his interviews and appearances.
