About the Author

"For many years the literary editor at Esquire magazine, Will Blythe is now a contributing editor to Harper's and Mirabella, and writes for many other periodicals. He lives in New York City. "

From the Back Cover

To pursue a vocation like fiction writing these days demands an almost religious sense of mission. With so little chance of making a living, let alone a fortune, how does one come to terms with the impulse to write? In this landmark anthology, twenty-six of America's most exciting and accomplished writers of fiction illuminate the motivations at the heart of their creative lives in ways as surprising and varied as their fiction.
