Where Stories Come From: Writers and Their Inspirations
From Tennessee Williams to Truman Capote, E.L. Doctorow to Toni Morrison, Sena Jeter Naslund to E.B Sledge and Howell Raines – authors near and far have ah-ha! moments, a lightning strike or quiet revelation, as they set out on creative journeys. Roy looks at an array of writers and their reflections on inspiration, and explores his own creative process, sharing excerpts of his essays and fiction.
Roy Hoffman, a Mobile native and Fairhope resident who lived in New York City for many years, is the author of six books: the novels “The Promise of the Pelican,” his most recent, and “Come Landfall,” “Chicken Dreaming Corn,” praised by Harper Lee, and “Almost Family,” recipient of the Alabama Library Association Award, and the nonfiction “Alabama Afternoons,” and “Back Home.” He has contributed essays and reviews to the New York Times and Wall Street Journal, and covered features and religion for the Mobile Press-Register.
