National book critic John Freeman pulls together his very best profiles (many of them new or completely rewritten for this volume) of the very best novelists of our time, including such international stars as Doris Lessing, Haruki Murakami, Salman Rushdie, and Mo Yan, to established American lions such as Don DeLillo, Norman Mailer, Toni Morrison, Marilynne Robinson, Philip Roth, John Updike, and David Foster Wallace, to the new guard of Edwidge Danticat, Dave Eggers, Jonathan Franzen, and more.

I particularly enjoyed learning how each writer came to write. Some knew early on, and others didn't begin until much later. Many used their own lives and environments as subjects while others needed to travel to find inspiration. Some used volatile political situations, or little known historical facts, and others, love, or the future or all of the above to create.
Freeman describes the individuality of each author while also comparing them to writers of the past, or present.
I was concerned this book would be filled with boring literary analysis and criticism; but was pleasantly surprised by how readable and compelling it actually is. ( )
