Conversations with William Maxwell collects thirty-eight interviews, public speeches, and remarks that span five decades of the esteemed novelist and New Yorker editor's career. The interviews collectively address the entirety of Maxwell's literary work--with in-depth discussion of his short stories, essays, and novels including They Came Like Swallows, The Folded Leaf, and the American Book award-winning So Long, See You Tomorrow--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 Maxwell's words spoken before a crowd, some previously unpublished, pay moving tribute to literary friends and mentors, and offer reflections on the artistic life, the process of writing, and his Midwestern heritage.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.
Like how a city is home to the stories of its denizens, the collection "Mass Transit" is home to the stories of the characters that dwell within its pages. There's Douglas Gerrard, a man who confronts his past in the crime drama "Manhattanhenge," or the skittish Adam Colby, who has an unusual way of handling his problems in the comedy "The Groomsman." The resourceful Dr. Melody Livingston gets more than she bargained for when she accepts an archeological assignment in the adventure entitled "Progeny," and charismatic Maxwell Sullivan learns the power of teamwork in "Negotiations." Author F. Flobo Boyce explores his fascination with family dynamics and urban settings throughout the tales of "Mass Transit." All aboard!
