Originally published in 1985, fourteen foremost writers of fiction
give detailed accounts of their writings in this absorbing
collection by John Haffenden, whom The Sunday Times has applauded
for having 'perfected' the art of the literary interview. Bringing
together discussions with a wide range of authors in Britain at the
time, the volume contains interviews with Martin Amis, Malcolm
Bradbury, Anita Brookner, Angela Carter, William Golding, Russell
Hoban, David Lodge, Ian McEwan, Iris Murdoch, V.S. Pritchett,
Salman Rushdie, David Storey, Emma Tennant and Fay Weldon. John
Haffenden questions them about the creative process, about specific
works - including Golding's Rites of Passage, Hoban's Riddley
Walker, Murdoch's The Philosopher's Pupil and Rushdie's Midnight's
Children and Shame - and about the ideas and visions which inform
those works. The writers provide lively, fascinating and often
definitive responses which offer many insights into the value and
function of fiction. The volume also includes discussions of
cultural context and of narrative techniques and kinds - realist,
postmodernist, fabulous - offering immediate material for critical
debate. For all who are interested in twentieth century fiction it
is essential reading.
