Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Fiction is about trouble. I make up characters who are decent or who are trying to be decent, and I add trouble. The more the better." "When we met [the authors] in restaurants, hotels, offices or their homes, they all opened themselves to us in surprising ways. In the middle of an Oklahoma thunderstorm, Ha Jin expressed his feelings of camaraderie with the long-dead masters of literature. Richard Bausch and Charles Baxter took us on car tours of their fictional settings. Tim Gautreaux joined us for po-boys at one of his hangouts, a place that seemed to spring from the pages of his fiction. Elizabeth McCracken took us along to pick up her dry cleaning. We drove to the airport with Ann Patchett's dog perched on our laps."
