Louisiana writer Tim Gautreaux (b. 1947) writes fiction that
mixes equal parts dry humor, tall tales, and deep tragedy. His
stories and novels of working-class Acadiana portray lives of
inimitably poignant love, loss, and longing. The depth and
complexity of Gautreaux's writing invite scholarly appraisals as
well, as critics mine the richness of his moral vision. These
interviews reveal the intensity of his sense of place, his deep
connection to the mechanical and working world, his commitment to
the craft of writing, and his Catholic view that has been shaped by
Flannery O'Connor and Walker Percy.
"Conversations with Tim Gautreaux" collects interviews from 1993
to 2009 with the author of "The Missing, The Clearing, Welding with
Children," and many other vital works of fiction. Readers who have
been engaged with the themes in his stories and novels will find
themselves equally taken with the kind and thoughtful voice they
discover in interviews.
