Conversations with Peter Taylor

Résumé du livre

Peter Taylor is finally coming into his own: he has recently won the Ritz Paris Hemingway Award, the PEN/Faulkner Award and the Pulitzer Prize; and at long last, has the satisfaction of having virtually all his work in print at the same time. This collection of interviews--ranging from 1960 to 1987--provides intimate glimpses of Taylor as a short-story writer, novelist, playwright, teacher, husband and father, scion of a distinguished family, restorer of old homes, friend and confidante of the most glittering literate of the century, and the kind of genial convesationalist one yearns to know. These interviews show that this genteel and unostentatious artist has the mastery of both form and content. ISBN 0-87805-324-7: $17.95.
