Writing Talk includes interviews with nineteen well-known
contemporary writers, exploring the ways in which they research and
find their original ideas. Working across genres such as fiction,
scriptwriting, radio, life writing, biography and more, the writers
offer insight into how they interpret, hone and develop these
ideas. The conversations examine the roles of technique, craft,
language, reading, memory, serendipity, habit and persistence. They
offer technical detail about the creative process and give unique
insights into the borderlands between genres as well as offering
rich, personal insights and universal resonances. A wide-ranging
introduction surveys the reasons why we are intrigued by the
mysteries of individual writing practice and how these illuminate
critical attitudes to literature and performance. Offering a rare
glimpse into the creative process of some of this generation's most
eminent voices, Writing Talk is a must read for anyone interested
in how stories are found and made. Interviewees: Alan Ayckbourn,
Iain Banks, Helen Blakeman, Louis de Bernieres, Sarah Butler,
Andrew Cowan, Jenny Diski, Patricia Duncker, David Edgar, Tanika
Gupta, Richard Holmes, Hanif Kureishi, Bryony Lavery, Toby Litt,
Kareem Mortimer, Michele Roberts, Jane Rogers, Willy Russell and
Sally Wainwright.
