Publishers Summary
Praised by Nobel laureate Nadine Gordimer as the best short story writer since Eudora Welty, Jayne Anne Phillips has written 2 collections of short fiction, Black Tickets and Fast Lanes, and a novel, Machine Dreams. This thoughtful and articulate conversation about the art and craft of fiction as Phillips practices it is full of her goals, her philosophy, and her particular interests. Phillips says that she has always been interested in capturing and distilling a voice, working according to the way the mind works, and making the idea of divinity come through in her work. She also discusses her fascination with the way people find and make family for themselves in a world in which the "traditional" structures are increasingly fading.
