Conversations with Bernard Malamud »

Concerned with many of the moral and spiritual questions at the heart of the Jewish-American experience, Bernard Malamud brought to his fiction the need to ask serious questions in the guise of compelling, page-turning stories. In stories set in America, Europe and Russia, Malamud s characters speak in a rich, provocative language that captures the ear and shows a master eavesdropper at work.

This book contains twenty-eight interviews with Bernard Malamud, ranging from brief conversations with journalists to extended conversations with adademics and writers. The interviews were conducted between 1958 and 1986.
