Unmet expectationsBy Nikolay NikolovAlthough this book received a big praise by the brainpickings.org website as 'THE handbook' to any aspiring novelist, I found very few takes of the literally giants interviewed useful. What I found strange is that this book is a collection of interviews between 204-2008, yet it is being advertised as something very contemporary. While containing invaluable communications with individuals who have unfortunately passed away, I can find no logic as to why it is published so many years after the interviews conducted in relation to selected books by the given authors.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. lovely readBy wendy tronrudthe writing is especially clear and fluid and the sheer number of writers that freeman interviews helps make this a very valuable text.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Three StarsBy OTTgreat! The novel is alive and well, thank you very muchFor the last fifteen years, whenever a novel was published, John Freeman was there to greet it. As a critic for more than two hundred newspapers worldwide, the onetime president of the National Book Critics Circle, and the former editor of Granta, he has reviewed thousands of books and interviewed scores of writers. In How to Read a Novelist, which pulls together his very best profiles (many of them new or completely rewritten for this volume) of the very best novelists of our time, he shares with us what he's learned. From such international stars as Doris Lessing, Haruki Murakami, Salman Rushdie, and Mo Yan, to established American lions such as Don DeLillo, Norman Mailer, Toni Morrison, Marilynne Robinson, Philip Roth, John Updike, and David Foster Wallace, to the new guard of Edwidge Danticat, Dave Eggers, Jonathan Franzen, and more, Freeman has talked to everyone. What emerges is an instructive and illuminating, definitive yet still idiosyncratic guide to a diverse and lively literary culture: a vision of the novel as a varied yet vital contemporary form, a portrait of the novelist as a unique and profound figure in our fragmenting global culture, and a book that will be essential reading for every aspiring writer and engaged reader?a perfect companion (or gift!) for anyone who's ever curled up with a novel and wanted to know a bit more about the person who made it possible. From BooklistCritic and former Granta editor Freeman (The Tyranny of E-Mail, 2009) presents a collection of 55 deeply informed and closely observed encounters with exceptional novelists. After stumbling through his first interview with John Updike, Freeman learned that “an interview is a form of conversation that has the same relationship to talking as fiction does to life.” Over the subsequent 13 years, Freeman spoke confidently with novelists who have something “to say about the world that can only be said in a story”in conversations he deftly wove into compact yet defining literary newspaper profiles. And what a spectrum he covers, from such towering figures as Toni Morrison, Nadine Gordimer, Joyce Carol Oates, and Günter Grass to Aleksandar Hemon, Kiran Desai, crime writer Donna Leon, and Jonathan Franzen. Haruki Murakami explains why a “repetitious life” is good for the imagination. E. L. Doctorow talks about the balance between the imagined and the historic, and Kazuo Ishiguro comments on the mess Freeman makes while eating scones. Ranging from the profound to the amusing,Freeman eloquently appreciates novelists and the “consolations of narrative.” --Donna Seaman "Ranging from the profound to the amusing,Freeman eloquently appreciates novelists and the “consolations of narrative.”?Booklist"To read about the personal, emotional, mental, political, and artistic struggles and triumphs of great writers is to see them as flesh and blood human beings...intimate and thoughtful sketches."?Publishers WeeklyAbout the AuthorJohn Freeman is an award-winning writer and book critic. The former editor of Granta and onetime president of the National Book Critics Circle, he has written about books for more than two hundred publications worldwide, including The New York Times Book , the Los Angeles Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, La Repubblica, and La Vanguardia. His first book, The Tyranny of E-mail, was published in 2009. His poetry has been published in The New Yorker, ZYZZYVA, and The Paris . He lives in New York City.

  • Beyond Borders: Traveling Through Literature
    Beyond Borders: Traveling Through Literature International Writers in Conversation at the Bay Area Book Festival Saturday, April 28 10:00 - 11:15 Literary Gems from the Emerald Isle Eimear McBride, David Hayden, Liz Nugent The small country of Ireland has always had a comparatively large influence on world literature. Three writers, who have flown to us from Ireland, represent the quintessence of modern Irish literature in the tradition of Joyce, Edna O'Brien, and so many other Irish masters. Surrealist feminist writer Eimear McBride creates a literary mosaic with her disjointed, artful syntax—NPR said "McBride's writing is so alive with internal rhymes, snippets of overheard conversation, prayers and unfiltered emotion." Short story artist David Hayden creates pieces that demand to be read, which the Irish Times called "exquisitely weird and so unobtrusively deadpan as to defy easy categorisation." Liz Nugent is a rising star who has written a dark thriller that Publisher's Weekly, in a starred review, called "an intense character study" that plays with truth. 10:00 - 11:15 Translating Trauma Katherena Vermette, Winnie Li Much profound literature focuses on the darkest parts of being human, and it takes an artful empathy to write about trauma. Katherena Vermette, a writer from the Métis nation in Canada whom Margaret Atwood heralded as "an accomplished writer who will go far," writes about violence and power struggles between women in her harrowing novel "The Break." Of Winnie Li's debut novel "Dark Chapter," inspired by her own experience as a survivor of assault, Kirkus reviews said: "That Li was able to write this novel, as both personal catharsis and public service, speaks volumes about her inner strength.

  • The National Book Critics Circle Campaign to Save Book Reviewing, 2007
    The National Book Critics Circle Campaign to Save Book Reviewing, 2007 The National Book Critics Circle 2007 “Campaign to Save Book Reviewing,” launched April 23, 2007 as an initiative at the NBCC March 2007 board meeting, included more than 100 original blog posts from authors, critics, librarians, booksellers, passionate readers. The posts on Critical Mass over the first five weeks of the campaign offer a snapshot of American literary culture circa spring 2007, which was evolving faster than many readers, authors and book critics could absorb. Solicited from authors, editors, journalists, book critics and others involved with books and literature, the posts offered a diverse and wide‐ranging set of viewpoints‐‐as might be expected from a group of critics and passionate writers and readers. Among them: Richard Powers, George Saunders, Rick Moody, Lee Smith, Andrei Codrescu, Roxana Robinson, AWP (Association of Writers and Writing Programs) president Catherine Brady, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Richard Ford, Nadine Gordimer, Sara Paretsky, Stewart O'Nan, Nicholas Christopher, Bill Roorbach; book editors from the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Pittsburgh Post‐ Gazette, the American Book Review, the San Francisco Chronicle, the New Orleans Times Picayune, the Jewish Forward, as well as Bob Mong, editor of the Dallas Morning News, Mark Sarvas, who writes the literary blog The Elegant Variation, and Carrie Kania, who described an inclusive approach to getting the word out about books she publishes: print, radio, television, online, including MySpace pages, literary blogs, bookstore websites. (Read the blog and the comments for the flavor of the sometimes heated discourse.) The campaign also included a series of related op ed pieces, editorials, interviews, literary blog posts, reports and reactions.
