The twenty-four interviews collected in Conversations with Sarah Schulman, roughly a fifth of those that exist, have enabled Schulman to expound upon her distinctive fusion of art and social commitment. Ranging from major forums to smaller venues, and covering a period of more than thirty years, these interviews provide full evidence of Schulman's value as a pivotal player in the intellectual life of her time.
Schulman's career as a writer, activist, teacher, and oral historian is now in its fifth decade. Spanning multiple fiction genres, her eleven novels include After Delores (1988), Rat Bohemia (1995), The Child (2007), and Maggie Terry (2018). A native New Yorker, Schulman (b. 1958) writes for the people that she writes about-women and men making the most of a society that seems continually marked by homophobia, which Schulman regards as less a phobia than an unacknowledged pleasure system.
Readers have come to relish Schulman's provocations, nowhere more so than through her books of nonfiction on topics such as gentrification and the interlocking nature of conflict and abuse. And since the early 1980s, when Schulman worked as a journalist, readers have come to applaud her searing indictments of the nation's woeful response to its AIDS crisis.
Schulman has received both The LGBTQ Center's Kessler Award for a body of work that has influenced the field of gay and lesbian studies and the Publishing Triangle's Bill Whitehead Award for lifetime achievement. She holds an endowed chair in creative writing at Northwestern University.
