This memoir presents an engaging selfportrait of Erskine Caldwells first thirty years as a writer, with special emphasis on his long and hard apprenticeship before he emerged as one of the most widely read and controversial authors of his time. While conveying the enormous amount of drive and dedication with which he pursued the writers life, Caldwell tells of his struggles to find his own voice, his travels, and his various jobs, which ranged from backbreaking common labor to much soughtafter positions in radio, film, and journalism.Such literary personages as Nathanael West, Maxwell Perkins, and Margaret Mitchell appear in "Call It Experience," as does Margaret BourkeWhite, with whom he collaborated on a number of projects and whom he also married. Including a selfinterview, "Call It Experience" offers a wealth of insights into Caldwells imagination, his sources of inspiration, and his writing habits, as well as his views on critics and reviewers, publishers, and booksellers. It is a source of both information and inspiration to aspiring writers.
