Abstract

McCaffery converses with fourteen radically innovative fiction writers, including the furiously productive William Vollman; Marianne Hauser, who published her first novel nearly sixty years ago; Native American trickster novelist Gerald Vizenor; "guerrilla writer" Harold Jaffe (whose literary technique is to "plant a bomb, sneak away"); stark minimalist Lydia Davis; text and collage artist Derek Pell; muscular pop icon Mark Leyner; and proto-punk diva Kathy Acker.
