Writers With Writers

Stumbled across The Believer Book of Writers Talking to Writers. Looks pretty good.

From the pitch:

Ian McEwan: “The dream, surely, that we all have, is to write this beautiful paragraph that actually is describing something but at the same time in another voice is writing a commentary on its own creation, without having to be a story about a writer.”

Jamaica Kincaid: “All of these declarations of what writing ought to be, which I had myself–though, thank god I had never committed them to paper–I think are nonsense. You write what you write, and then either it holds up or it doesn’t hold up. There are no rules or particular sensibilities. I don’t believe in that at all anymore.”
