Conducted over the course of twenty years, many of these pieces were first published in the Paris Review. Taken from a passage by Henry James, the title speaks to the \"madness\" that drives our greatest works of creativity. Phillips's interviews bring out this \"madness\" in its most important sense: the writers are seers and visionaries, whose works inspire us beyond the limits of reason. The conversations recorded in The Madness of Art attain that same level of inspiration and power. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePhillips questions his interviewees about their work methods, daily lives, influences, sources of inspiration, relationship to other literary figures, response to critics, choice of genre, audience, and reasons for writing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Phillips\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Syracuse University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.36h x 6.34w x 0.77d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815607830\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2003 pg. 86\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2003","brand":"Syracuse University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":40938962223219,"sku":"9.78082E+12","price":29.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_2cec5b00-4041-4787-b22a-10ddf8926a48.jpg?v=1693403702","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/the-madness-of-art-interviews-with-poets-and-writers-9780815607830","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
