Taken individually any one of these thoughtful conversations has
the capacity to draw the reader into a zone of sympathy and
appreciation, even if she has not read the published works of the
interviewee. Collectively the conversations constitute a valuable
resource for writers, teachers and general readers intrigued by the
psychology and craft of making fiction. * The Australian *
