The novel was critically acclaimed, filmed as a made-for-television movie, and turned into a television miniseries. Naylor's output now includes five novels, an edited collection of short stories, two theater projects, and a series of articles, essays, notes, and an unpublished work that combines fiction and nonfiction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eConversations with Gloria Naylor\u003c\/em\u003e collects her interviews and shows her to be one of the most talented novelists to emerge in the past twenty years. The fourteen interviews that are included range from 1983, soon after the publication of her first novel, to 2000, following the publication of \u003cem\u003eThe Men of Brewster Place\u003c\/em\u003e. Altogether they shed light on Naylor in all her wit, wisdom, and candor. She is the first among the current generation of African American women novelists to have made a study of her literary predecessors. Interviews with her are compelling in their revelation of the evolutionary journey of a self-professed introvert and dreamer who is as indebted to the English classics as she is to blues, jazz, or Toni Morrison's \u003cem\u003eThe Bluest Eye\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn indispensable resource for a study of Naylor's life and art, \u003cem\u003eConversations with Gloria Naylor\u003c\/em\u003e offers rare insight into works that are in the vanguard of contemporary American literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaxine Lavon Montgomery, is an associate professor of English at Florida State University and the author of \u003cem\u003eThe Apocalypse in African-American Fiction\u003c\/em\u003e.
