Sailing the Inland Sea – On Writing, Literature, and Land

Autor Susan S. Neville
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 feb 2007
Calling on the image of the Midwest s vanished inland sea, Susan Neville has written a compelling collection of essays that ponder writing and the "landlocked imagination." The essays range from interviews with Indiana writers Kurt Vonnegut, Scott Sanders, Marguerite Young, and others, to discussions on techniques grounded in a Midwestern sensibility. As director of Butler University s Visiting Writers Series, Neville has had the rare opportunity to converse with such literary giants as Salman Rushdie, Ray Bradbury, and Toni Morrison, and some of those exchanges have been incorporated into this exciting new collection."

“What makes this book one that I would certainly put on my reading list is that Neville explores writing—and the study of writing—in interesting and tangible ways.” Sue William Silverman, author of Because I Remember Terror
