Description
Here we have a conversation with Jonathan Franzen, still an unknown author, on the eve of the publication of The Corrections; and one with Roberto Bolano, near the end of his life. Lydia Davis and Francine Prose break down the intricacies of Davis's methods; Edwidge Danticat and Junot Diaz discuss the power of Caribbean diasporic fiction. This anthology brings together some of the greatest figures of world literature for a brilliant and unforgettable collection of sharp, insightful and intimate author conversations.

Praise for BOMB Magazine
“Reading BOMB interviews was one of the ways I began to conceive of myself as an artist.”—Miranda July
“No other magazine, no other source of any kind, consistently advances so much vivid and indispensable intelligence into how art actually gets made in America and around the world as BOMB.”
—Robert Polito, Director of the New School Graduate Writing Program
“BOMB gives us conversation distilled into dream conversation, talk that transcends talk, thought that digs beneath transient impressions to get at the essence, the meaning, the purpose, the experience of the writing process. There is something to be remembered and learned from every one of the conversations gathered here. Read them for pleasure, for entertainment, for insight, and for clues to the mystery—to the hard labor and the profound satisfactions—of what writers do.”
—Francine Prose, from her introduction
