Conversations with Mormon Authors

What makes someone a Mormon Author? What influences them? Can a Mormon produce great writing and remain faithful to the Church? What makes good writing? faithful writing? And how do you produce that writing? This groundbreaking collection includes interviews with twenty-eight authors who discuss these and other questions. Along the way, they give not only fascinating insight into what it takes to be an author, but also into the challenges of examing life through faith, and of examining the life of faith through literature. These writer's viewpoints are varied. They often celebrate their faith, but sometimes criticize the culture that has sprung up around that faith. But regardless of their viewpoint, their thoughts are thought-provoking and sometimes even controversial. Given the breadth of experience of these authors and their impact on the Mormon experience, this is a must read for anyone interested in Mormon Literature or in the growing and changing Mormon culture.Christopher Kimball Bigelow is the author of 'Conversations with Mormon Authors', published 2006 under ISBN 9780850511086 and ISBN 0850511089.
