(Covering Thirtyfive Writers of Fifteen Languages)
The interviewer strives to meet each writer on his own ground. None of the interviews in this volume betrays. predispositions, studied preferences or even a passing platitude on his part to convey the impression that he is indulging in a verbal warfare to carry his own point. He sets the conversation so self affectedly that, attuned to his work, the writer opens up on the creative issues. vitally important to him.
The book, perhaps the first of its kind on the Indian literature, presents scenes of cultural crossroads in a vastly diversified society speaking different languages and learning to knit itself into a single whole. While self righteous political programming in national integration may not succeed for want of a suitable state of mind, the pull of a joint creative participation as this one might work beyond expectation.
Some works set the reader on unending quests and when he fails to meet them despite his concerted effort, he looks to the writer for a hint to unravel the mystery surrounding it. Whenever he happens to meet the writer, he cannot resist the temptation to get a glimpse into his mind. Even if the elucidation offered by the writer is not found fully dependable and final, it does throw some light on the subtleties and proves help ful as such.
