In Conversation: Encounters With 39 Great Writers by Ben Naparstek, ISBN 9781921640117

> Reference Books > Encyclopedias & General Reference Books Author: Ben Naparstek Why did Jay McInerney once blow up a lavatory? Why does Peter Handke still mourn the passing of Slobodan Milosevic? Why does Michel Houellebecq miss being in a psychiatric hospital? Why doesn't Wole Soyinka want to visit Australia? And what made Elfriede Jelinek afraid of receiving her Nobel Prize? From Ben Naparstek, the editor of The Monthly, comes a collection of interviews with 39 of the world's best writers. In the course of these remarkable encounters, he finds out why amongst other things Tony Judt refuses to debate Christopher Hitchens, why Umberto Eco snubbed Stanley Kubrick, why John Malkovich threatened to shoot Robert Fisk, and why James Wood wants to hide behind a pseudonym. In Conversation offers a series of personal and provocative portraits that illuminate what makes great writers tick.
