Featuring interviews with nineteen leading U.S. literary and cultural critics,
Critics at Work
offers a unique picture of recent developments in literary studies, critical theory, American studies, gay and lesbian studies, philosophy, and other fields. It provides informative, timely, and often provocative commentary on a broad range of topics, from the state of theory today and the prospects for cultural studies to the role of public intellectuals and the place of political activism. These conversations also elicit illuminating and sometimes surprising insights into the personal and professional lives of its contributors.

In addition to the interviews themselves, the volume includes useful short introductions to each critic's work and biography.
