Three American Writers

Three conversations with noteworthy American writers about their work and the process of writing. Frank McCourt discusses his first book, "Angela's Ashes," a memoir celebrating his Irish childhood. Toni Morrison, winner of both the Pulitzer and Nobel prizes, discusses "Paradise." And, shortly after receiving the PEN-Malamud Award for excellence in short fiction, John Barth talks about his novels and short stories and the process of writing.
