Writer to Writer

Margaret Atwood, Derek Walcott, Seamus Heaney and Salman Rushdie feature in this collection of over forty award-winning writer interviews.

This is a genre-crossing collection of writer interviews and essays that recounts in intimate detail encounters with many of the world’s foremost writers. Interspersed are photos as well as a charismatic commentary, provided by editor and veteran journalist Ciaran Carty, revealing a surprising, often unexpected interconnectedness between these otherwise distinct figures.

Individually, these pieces provide a rare glimpse inside some of the world’s most creative minds; collectively, they address topics such as history, politics, sexuality, and class, while also reflecting the distinguished and wide-ranging career of one of Ireland’s leading critics and broadcasters. Filled with laugh-out-loud anecdotes, personal confessions, and passionate declarations, this book is the definitive collection for literature enthusiasts and aspiring writers alike.

Featuring:
Martin Amis, Saul Bellow, John Banville, JG Ballard, Anne Enright, Carlos Fuentes, Allen Ginsberg, Joseph Heller, Kazuo Ishiguro, Jennifer Johnston, Molly Keane, Michael Longley, Norman Mailer, VS Naipaul, Edna O’Brien, Tom Stoppard, Paul Theroux, Fay Weldon, Margaret Atwood, Seamus Heaney and Salman Rushdie, and more.
