Abstract

WE'RE ADMIRERS of Carol Bly's clear, wry short fiction, and of the urgent and compelling vision so apparent in her works of nonfiction. She is the author of two books of short stories, Backbone and The Tomcat's Wife; a book of essays, Letters from the Country; and a book on the craft of fiction, The Passionate, Accurate Story. Carol Bly was born in Duluth, Minnesota, went to boarding school at Abbot in Andover, Massachusetts, and to col lege at Wellesley. After college and a few shaky years in New York City, she returned to graduate school at the University of Minnesota. She has taught at Hamline University, Carleton College, and the University of Minnesota. She also teaches two of the correspondence courses offered at The Loft, an innovative space for writers in Minneapolis. We had the opportunity to interview her when she was teaching an advanced nonfic tion writing course at The University of Iowa during the fall of 1991.
