Praise for BOMB: The Author Interviews

"Bomb: The Author Interviews brings together a selection of conversations in a handsome anthology. The book, which offers 35 of the magazine's interviews, is both a primer on authorial strategies and a record of the evolution of an iconic literary institution."
--The Washington Post

"Lets readers into the room for conversations with Martin Amis, Junot Díaz, Jennifer Egan, Sharon Olds, and others about the craft of writing."
--The Boston Globe

"'Inspire' might be a thin word in our cynical literary present, but dare I say that reading these conversations made me want to handwrite excerpts on index cards and lean them against books on my shelves."
--The Millions
