Included in this volume are Jones's informal conversations with Walker Percy, Margaret Walker, Ellen Douglas, Willie Morris, Turner Cassity, and James Whitehead.This book provides new insights into understanding the views, the works, and the craft of principal American authors who are also Mississippians. They speak with candor about themselves and tell of the urges that brought them to write the books and stories for which they are best known.
