Interviews With Legendary Writers From Beyond - McGough, Cathy

. .

Résumé :
WHEN WORDS OUTLIVE THE WRITER, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE WRITERS COMES BACK TO READ THEM ALOUD? What if you could sit across from your favourite long-gone writer - for just fifteen minutes - and ask him anything? In this quietly magical collection, which was awarded 2nd in Metamorph Publishing's Literary Fiction Category in 2016, Cathy McGough invites legendary literary voices back into the world for brief but vivid conversations. With the help of a psychic friend, writers and poets across time return in flesh and spirit - stepping into the 20th century, sharing reflections of their lives, and reading aloud from their own work. More than imagined interviews, these are intimate encounters. Each figure is rendered in rich, thoughtful detail - how they speak, what they wear, the energy they bring - as if they'd just stepped off the page and into the room. *Poe *Hawthorne *Tennyson *Shelley *Keats *Leacock *Voltaire *Paterson *Twain *Byron *Dostoevsky *Thoreau *Baudelaire *Burns *Collins *Dickens *Coleridge *Kipling Ideal for new readers looking to discover classics with fresh eyes, or for longtime loves of literature eager to feel close to the writers they've always admired, this book blends research, imagination, and reverence into something unique: a literary feast for the soul. DON'T BE SURPRISED IF WE ENCOUNTER SOME UNIVITED GUESTS ALONG THE WAY!...
