In the community of southern authors, he finds his natural place. \"Southern writers,\" he says, \"have much more in common than differences. They have in common a certain point of view as well.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Through television productions of his fiction--\u003ci\u003eThe Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eA Gathering of Old Men\u003c\/i\u003e, and \"The Sky is Gray\"--Gaines has become widely known and appreciated. Although focused principally upon African American life in the Deep South, his writing bears strong influence of European authors. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In these interviews, two of which have never before been printed, Ernest Gaines casts a retrospective light upon his long and productive career. Drawn from journals, magazines, and newspapers, the interviews are occasions for Gaines to recall his childhood, his \"bohemian\" days in San Francisco, his long effort to get his work published, and recent events in his life--including his marriage and his receiving a MacArthur Prize.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Wharton Lowe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0878057838\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780878057832\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.23lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.01w x 1.08d","brand":"John Wharton Lowe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054804300031,"sku":"9780878057832","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1f3c3362-1e7f-443d-86fa-6be0286c4b81.jpg?v=1685032093","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/conversations-with-ernest-gaines-john-lowe-9780878057832","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
