From a Tiny Corner in the House of Fiction gathers into a single
volume twenty-three interviews with the British novelist and
philosopher Dame Iris Murdoch (1919-1999) by some of the last
half-century's foremost critics, academics, and journalists.
Distinguished interviewers-including the renowned scholar Sir Frank
Kermode, the theater critic Harold Hobson, and the writer and
broadcaster Jonathan Miller-talk with Murdoch about her life, work,
and philosophy. The resulting conversations offer access to
Murdoch's beliefs on a wide range of topics and on her techniques
and intentions as a writer. The interviews collectively trace an
evolution in Murdoch's convictions, particularly on the subjects of
religion and politics. Murdoch shares details of both her created
and lived worlds, talking frankly about the difficulties facing a
novelist writing in the second half of the twentieth century. She
speaks at length about many of her novels and characters,
explaining their philosophical and ethical foundations and
clarifying points that have puzzled readers. Especially interesting
are her views on such subjects as politics and freedom, women's
education, the good life, and the possibilities for spiritual life
after the demise of organized religions. Gillian Dooley introduces
the collection with an analysis of Murdoch's work, looking closely
at her method of composition and development of character and
situation. Dooley also provides background information for each of
the interviews, along with a thorough index.
