- Synopsis
- Every reader can name at least one book that changed his or her life. In The Book That Changed My Life, fifteen of America's most influential authors discuss their own special literary choices. These unique interviews with National Book Award winners and finalists offer new insights into the many ways in which the experience of reading shapes the act of writing. Robert Stone on Joseph Conrad's Victory, Cynthia Ozick on Henry James's Washington Square, Charles Johnson on Jack London's The Sea-Wolf-- each approaches the question of literary influence, while offering rich and wonderful revelations about his or her own writing career.
