Content introduction:
After settling in the United States, translator Wu Yongxi has accumulated several years of work interviewing many of the most active and well-known writers in the world today. A sincere and profound dialogue, in the hands of the author, moistening the iron and sharp.
Orhan Pamuk, Lydia Davis, Salman Rushdie, Colson Whitehead, Javier Marias, Ann Beatty... Faced with such a young interviewer from China, these great writers without exception showed great sincerity, patience, grace and wisdom. Writing ability is not an independent and empty skill, but a collection of a writer's life experiences, his soul and spirit. Seventeen intellectual feasts, between the square inches of the study, under the interweaving of the literary muscle base and the depth of life, writers naturally talk about their own writing habits and methods, confused moments, literary mysteries and even many new era issues, outlining the myriad of flourishing.
A word is a story, a soul is a temple. To come face to face with 17 international literary giants is to come face to face with the literary world.
