Shakespeare and Company, Paris, is one of the worlds most iconic and beautiful bookshops. Located on the banks of the Seine, opposite Notre-Dame, its long been a meeting place for anglophone writers and readers. In that tradition, determined for the bookshop to remain a place of meaningful and transformative conversation, owner Sylvia Whitman and later novelist and literary director Adam Biles have conducted several hundred interviews with writers, ranging from prize-winning novelists to visionary non-fiction writers. The Shakespeare and Company Book of Interviews is a selection of the best of these interviews from the last decade. Packed with warmth, sensitivity and humour, its a celebration of the greatest writers of our age and an insight into the lives and thoughts behind some of todays most talked-about books.
