Eliabeth Shostak | 02/19/2001 @ 05:00AM
Julius Lester: Working at His Creative Peak

Sally Lodge | 02/12/2001 @ 07:00AM

Not many miles off the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston, a winding road rises and falls just before it reaches the turnoff leading up a hill to Julius Lester's pale green, clapboard home.
Alan Furst: Spying on The Past

Genie Chipps Henderson | 02/05/2001 @ 07:00AM

"Somehow, I know these people, I know their voices. I'm just a guy from the West Side of New York. It spooks me sometimes." Strolling down Main Street in Sag Harbor, N.Y., PW catches nary a glimpse of intrigue. No spies dart here among the white clapboard houses, the red brick American Hotel, the firehouse, the old Variety store, the Civil War monument. ...
Melanie Rae Thon: Fighting For Solace

Leslie Haynsworth | 01/29/2001 @ 07:00AM

It's a raw, wintry day and, hemmed in by snow-covered mountains and heavy gray clouds, Salt Lake City seems hushed and subdued, as if this latest cold front is yet another reminder that even big cities can feel insignificant and oddly transient in contrast to the rugged vastness of the West.
Huston Smith: A History Of Faith

Kimberly Winston | 01/22/2001 @ 07:00AM

"What I am calling on us to do is to think this matter through more thoroughly. We have to realize that there may be another world view." Visiting Huston Smith's home is like visiting a museum of the world religions. A carving of an Islamic angel greets visitors at the door, a figurine of Kuan Yin jostles for space on the mantel with one of St. ...
Dagoberto Gilb: A Lust for Life, Down &Dirty

David Bahr | 01/15/2001 @ 07:00AM

"Most people like me. Because I'm a nut. And they have a fun time." At a local Chicano restaurant in Austin, Tex., Dagoberto Gilb munches on tortillas, refried beans and runny eggs. Vibrant colors dance above his head, the swirling blues and reds and yellows of a mural on the wall. ...
Juan Goytisolo: Across the Straits

Maya Jaggi | 01/08/2001 @ 07:00AM

From his house in Marrakech's medina, Juan Goytisolo enjoys the mesmeric drumming and murmur of the nearby Djemaa el Fna, the pulsing heart of the Moroccan city.
PW Talks with Virginia Euwer Wolff

Staff | 12/18/2000 @ 07:00AM

PW: In 1993, your novel Make Lemonade was published to great acclaim. What prompted you to return to the heroine, LaVaughn, after an eight-year-hiatus? VEW: Young readers, in letters, kept telling me that the ending [of Make Lemonade] was up in the air. It took me eight months to find a name for LaVaughn. Originally, in Make Lemonade, the narrator was nameless and faceless.

Amy Boaz | 11/20/2000 @ 07:00AM

Stephen Mitchell: Man of Letters, Beyond Words

Gary Gach | 11/13/2000 @ 07:00AM

"Each translation has always felt to me not like a literary project but like falling in love with a woman and wanting to become intimate with her."
Dan Simmons: Between Two Worlds

Dorman T. Shindler | 11/06/2000 @ 07:00AM

"I would rather draw a warm bath and open my veins with an Exacto knife than sit around plotting a novel complete with big lumps of information." What is Dan Simmons? Is he fish? Is he fowl? Or is he simply "good red herring"? Chances are the genre-defying writer of mainstream fiction, science fiction, horror and fantasy would appreciate the latter designation. ...
Martin Winckler: Notes of a French Doctor

Herbert R. Lottman | 10/30/2000 @ 07:00AM
