Madison Smartt Bell Discusses His Early Writing Influences

Madison Smartt Bell's fiction is frequently preoccupied with race relations between black and white, both past and present. By the age of 40, Bell had published no fewer than nine critically acclaimed novels, including Ten Indians (1996), All Souls' Rising (1995), Save Me, Joe Louis (1993), Doctor Sleep (1991), Straight Cut (1986), Waiting for the End of the World (1985), and The Washington Square Ensemble (1983). All Souls' Rising, the first in a trilogy of novels about the blood-soaked Haitian War of Independence (1791-1804), was a finalist for the National Book Award. Bell's second installment in the "Haitian trilogy," Master of the Crossroads (2000), follows the rise to power of fabled revolutionary and former slave, Toussaint L'Ouverture. The third and final book in the trilogy, The Stone That the Builder Refused, was published just before this interview in November 2004.
