Conversations with Edward Said (Conversations With)

In one of his last interviews, Edward Said speaks with Tariq Ali about his dislocated existence, his initiation into politics, his involvement with the Palestinian cause, his approach to the study of culture, and his pervasive love of literature and music. Intimate, personal, thought-provoking, and absorbing, these conversations capture Said--as political activist, cultural historian, professor of literature, and music aficionado--and confirm his position as one of the most passionate and thoughtful intellectuals of our time.
