Description

1. 1 videocassette (29 min.) : sd., b&w; 1/2 in.

Summary

1. Warren focuses on the creative process of writing. He discusses with Kerr the search for identity which is ubiquitous in his novels and poems as a metaphor for writing itself. He discusses the fundamentals of fiction--place, characters, and story--but insists that without an innate "germ" one cannot simply learn mechanics and become a writer.
