About the work
The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:
LibriVox recording of Literature in the Making, by Some of its Makers by Various; Joyce Kilmer. Read in English by BettyB; Denise Nordell; MaryAnnS; realisticspeakers; Kathleen Moore; Mike Pelton; Timothy Ferguson; Jesse Zuba; Pamela Nagami; John Burlinson; Amal ArRumaih This is a collection of 23 essays based on interviews conducted by Joyce Kilmer with some of the most famous authors of the time (1917). Kilmer's idea, as outlined in the Introduction, was that there is a deep divide between those who write literature, and those who write about literature. He thus bridges the gap and asks authors, the 'makers' as mentioned in the title of the work, about their opinion about various topics. - Summary by Carolin
