Interviews from the Edge presents a selection of conversations, drawn from 50 years of the international journal New Orleans Review, that dive head-first into the most enduring aesthetic and social concerns of the last half century. From reflections on the making of literature and films to personal accounts of writing inside racial divides and working against capital punishment, the writers, poets, and activists featured in this book offer not only a fresh perspective on our present struggles but also perhaps a way through themfor writers and readers alike. I think its frightfully important, and this is really much more difficult than it sounds, only to say what you absolutely believe. Christopher Isherwood Most American writers probably do not think of their writing as a kind of activism. And it shouldnt have to beI dont think we can impose that on writersbut it can be.

Sister Helen Prejean The hardest part of developing a style is that you have to learn to trust your voice. If I thought of my style, Id be crippled. Somebody else said to me a long time ago in France, Find out what you can do, and then dont do it. James BaldwinAs I have grown older, I have come to see that the romantic notion of the outsider in love with death doesn't solve a thing. It only makes life worse.
