In his development, the merging of these special talents has made Foote almost unique in the history of American literature, for few other great modern authors have proved to be master storytellers in both fiction and historical narrative.\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eConversations with Shelby Foote\u003c\/i\u003e, this novelist-historian expresses penetrating and often humorous remarks about major modern writers as well as about the classical writers of fiction, plays, poetry, and historical narrative. In one interview Foote explains how Homer's \u003ci\u003eIliad\u003c\/i\u003e and Proust's \u003ci\u003eRemembrance of Things Past\u003c\/i\u003e were his chief models for writing his history of the Civil War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFoote recounts also what it was like to grow up in a small Mississippi town in the first half of the twentieth century and tells how his observations of African Americans and whites of all classes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"University Press of Mississippi","offers":[{"title":"Conversations with Shelby Foote | William C Carter | Paperback | 0878053867 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks D 1759756","offer_id":49199702474904,"sku":"1759756","price":11.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81iMa29enrL.jpg?v=1780698028","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/conversations-with-shelby-foote","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
