For the last 15 years, if a novel was published, John Freeman has been there to greet it. As a critic for more than 200 newspapers worldwide, and current editor of Granta, he has reviewed thousands of books and interviewed scores of writers, and in 'How to Read a Novelist', he shares with us what he has learned. The book collects his very best profiles of the very best novelists of our time. What emerges is an illuminating, definitive, and idiosyncratic guide to a diverse and lively literary culture. From such international stars as Doris Lessing, Haruki Murakami, Salman Rushdie, and Mo Yan; to American masters such as Don Delillo, Norman Mailer, Toni Morrison, Marilynne Robinson, Philip Roth, John Updike, and David Foster Wallace; to the new guard of Jennifer Egan, Junot Da̕z, Dave Eggers and Jonathan Franzen - Freeman has talked to everyone.
