Dead Interviews

by Dan Crowe - £12.99  Granta Books (2013)
hardback    ISBN 13: 9781847088277 | ISBN 10: 1847088279

These ingenious interviews will amuse, provoke and delight. Veering from the intensely serious to the wildly silly, Dead Interviews grants writers the chance to sit down with their heroes and flex their cerebral muscles, or simply indulge in some bookish gossip with a deceased icon. Pitch-perfect mimesis meets razor sharp literary criticism in the book that refuses to let dead writers lie.
