Title: Theodore Dreiser
Description: "Hardly shy about himself or his work, Theodore Dreiser knew the value of publicity. Over four decades he often consented to interviews, answering questions about his fiction, his politics, and the major social issues of his day." "Throughout his life Dreiser raised a storm of protest with his realistic novels, blistered public figures and other authors with forthright criticism, scorned pieties masking brutality in law and economics, and expressed a few contradictions of his own." "This volume collects for the first time more than seventy interviews. As a group, they show Dreiser dealing with an array of literary and social issues, as well as his lifelong tendency not to mince words. Dreiser is revealed in these interviews as a public figure of epic proportions."--Jacket.
