People Books and Book People

Here's a collection of columns titled "Eye on Books" that McCullough wrote over the years for the Book of the Month Club News. He interviewed various authors. The purpose of the interviews was to "let the authors speak as directly to the reader as I could arrange it."It's always fascinating and illuminating to see what writers have to say about their lives and their works; their experiences in "birthing," as it were, the books they write. Because he's a writer, McCullough seems to get at the crux of each interview with laser-like precision.Anyone who loves books and writing and wants to know more about writers and what they say about their books will love this one. McCullough writes in the easy journalistic style he brings to his Pulitzer Prize winning biographies TRUMAN and JOHN ADAMS.
