Amy Tan Book

I love this book because it takes you into the homes and inner makings of artists from Amy Tan, to Joyce Carol Thomas and many writers I had never heard of but am now curious to read. I am very fond of reading about what makes writers tick; this is a good inside view even if a bit dated. Actually, because it is dated, I find it all the more interesting. Published in 1990, Amy Tan had only one huge success at point, so it fascinates me to see how thee authors have grown, matured, changed ... or disappeared from public view.I am savoring it at the moment, but almost finished.
The basic message from most writers is do it regularly, as serious work and be disciplined.
One of my favorite interviews is with Harriett Doerr who returned to college at age 65! I find her very inspiring and look forward to reading her first published book,STONES FROM IBERRA. Has anyone out there read it?
