Conversations with Graham Swift is the first collection of
interviews conducted with the author of the Booker Prize-winning
novel Last Orders. Beginning in 1985 with Swift's arrival in New
York to promote Waterland and concluding with an interview from
2016 that appeared in the Sydney Morning Herald, the collection
spans Swift's more than thirty-five-year career as a writer. The
volume also includes interviews first printed in English as well as
translated from the French or Spanish and covers a wide range of
formats, from lengthier interviews published in standard academic
journals, to those for radio, newspapers, and, more recently,
podcasts. In these interviews, Graham Swift (b. 1949) offers
insights into his life and career, including his friendships with
other contemporary writers like Ted Hughes and the group of
celebrated novelists who emerged in Britain during the eighties.
With remarkable clarity, Swift discusses the themes of his novels
and short stories: death, love, history, parent-child
relationships, the power of the imagination, the role of
storytelling, and the consequences of knowing. He also notes the
influences, literary and personal, that have helped shape his
writing career. While quite ordinary in his life and daily habits,
Swift reveals his penetrating intellect and rich imagination-an
imagination that can craft some of the most engaging and formally
complex stories in the language.
