CONVERSATIONS WITH SARAH SCHULMAN
Edited by Will Brantley
Univ. of Mississippi. 175 pages, $22.
WHEN INTERVIEWED in these pages in 2016 (September-October issue), Sarah Schulman declared: “I never write about an ongoing conversation. That is to say, every nonfiction book I write is to start a conversation.” Not only has Sarah Schulman started many conversations in her eleven books of nonfiction, she has participated in dialogues of many kinds with a range of interlocutors in over forty years of public life. Editor Will Brantley has done a terrific job of assembling 24 such pieces occurring over 33 years. These interchanges point to the writer/ activist’s love of engagement, clearly affirming Brantley’s observation that “conversation is a key component of Schulman’s life.”
