The interviews collectively address the entirety of Maxwel’s literary work—with in-depth discussion of his short stories, essays, and novels including \u003ci\u003eThey Came Like Swallows\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Folded Leaf\u003c\/i\u003e, and the American Book Award–winning \u003ci\u003eSo Long, See You Tomorrow\u003c\/i\u003e—as well as his forty-year tenure as a fiction editor working with such luminaries as John Updike, John Cheever, Eudora Welty, Vladimir Nabokov, and J.D. Salinger. Maxwell’s words spoken before a crowd, some previously unpublished, pay moving tribute to literary friends and mentors, and offer reflections on the artistic life, the process of writing, and his midwestern heritage. All retain the reserved poignancy of his fiction. The volume publishes for the first time the full transcript of Maxwell’s extensive interviews with his biographer and, in an introduction, correspondence with writers including Updike and Saul Bellow, which enlivens the stories behind his interviews and appearances.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University Press of Mississippi","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52653254377752,"sku":"9781496857958","price":21.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/conversations-with-william-maxwell-paperback-softback-9781496857958","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
