THE WRITER'S LIBRARY by Nancy Pearl and Jeff Schwager - New York Journal of Books Review

New York Journal of Books | September 8, 2020

“The Writer’s Library: The Authors You Love on the Books That Changed Their Lives by Nancy Pearl and Jeff Schwager is an interesting look into 23 award-winning authors and how they came to their writing careers through the books they have read.

Pearl and Schwager begin each interview with a comfortable setting where the interview takes place, then introduce each author with a brief background and accounting of the various awards they have won.

They interview each author with a basic set of questions, primarily beginning with questions like ‘What are you reading now?’ or ‘What do you read for pleasure?’ Although such questions appear to be very elementary, they get the interview off to a good start and give the interviewee an opportunity to express what type of literature is interesting to them, and how their reading choices set the stage for their own writing.”
