Bernard Malamud gave his first interview in 1958, his last in 1986.
During the intervening twenty-eight years he was formally
interviewed at least forty times. This book collects twenty-eight
of the best interviews, ranging from brief conversations with
journalists to more extended and leisurely conversations with
academics and writers.
Winner of two National Book Awards and a Pulitzer Prize, this
universally praised author of "The Magic Barrel," "The Fixer," "The
Natural," and many stories that are acclaimed among the
masterpieces of American fiction appears in these interviews quite
appropriately as an artist devoted more to his work than to
discussing it. This collection includes interviews in which Malamud
gives a commentary on each of his novels and on many of his short
stories. What emerges from these encounters with this great author
is a sense of Malamud's deep, lifetime commitment to his art and to
a seriousness of purpose.
Though there is very little domestic detail or literary gossip
in Malamud's conversations, these interviews reveal the essence of
a great writer that the multitudes of readers inspired by his books
crave to find and retain.
