The Spoken Word: American Writers

Resumen del libro

This three CD set includes recordings of 27 celebrated American writers, starting from the earliest generation whose voices survive. The majority of the recordings derive from BBC radio broadcasts, in which the writers talk about their careers, their art and their politics. From historic recordings of Gertrude Stein, Eugene O'Neill and F Scott Fitzgerald to more recent interviews with James Michener, Arthur Miller and Toni Morrison, this compilation covers novelists and playwrights at the forefront of literature in the 20th century. Most of the recordings are being published here for the first time.
