Note:"'Conversations with Madeleine L'Engle' is the first collection of interviews with the beloved children's book author best known for her 1962 Newbery Award-winning novel, 'A Wrinkle in Time.' However, Madeleine L'Engle's (1918-2007) accomplishments as a writer spread far beyond children's literature. Beginning her career as a literary novelist for adults, L'Engle continued to write fiction for both young and old long after 'A Wrinkle in Time.' In her sixties, she published personal memoirs and devotional texts that explored her relationship with religion. The thirteen interviews collected here reveal an amazing feat of authorial self-fashioning, as L'Engle transformed from novelist to children's author to Christian writer and attempted to craft a public persona that would speak to each of these different audiences in meaningful, yet not painfully revealing, ways."--Provided by publisher.
