Entrevistas com escritores e função autor

Interviews with writers became a discursive genre, and widely circulated, as part of journalism. Fiction writers, at least those that are already associated to a “work”, have clear news value for their cultural relevance. The relationship between writer/author and work, however, is neither simple nor stable, insofar as its foundations are cultural and historical. This article tries to think about the place that the interview with writers occupies in the creation, affirmation and stabilization of the modern literary field. Keywords: interview, journalism, literature.
