Gathers interviews with the Tennessee short story writer in which he discusses his career, writing, character development themes, settings, and growing older.
No doubt that these books are set up to be more like reference books, and maybe I should be reading these Conversations With books piecemeal, an occasional interview at a time, rather than ploughing straight through them like I do, but it might be interesting if someone did one of these that was not just a collection, but followed up with an interview from the one who had previously scoured through all of these interviews and done in particular for one of these books so that ideas don't just get repeated through interview after interview but actually runs through to some conclusion or sense of progress.
