Industry Reviews "For anyone interested in writers and their work, Ms. Krementz has provided a small but revealing look beneath the covers." New York Times Book Review - Robin Lippincott (02/06/1997)
When I think of all the social documentarians, I will first and foremost thank those who pay tribute to the creative souls, and Jill Krementz deserves our thanks. "The Writer's Desk" is exactly what it purports to be and much more. The reader is given not only a visual perception of these well-known authors, but an actual glimpse into the essence of quite private individuals. Those who take the time will receive a full value of scales in terms of photographs and word pictures. One cannot but feel an intimate connection with the writer's who are interviewed in this book. The private work world once reserved only for authors is now revealed. Krementz has first-hand knowledge of this by being wed to author Kurt Vonnegut. In addition, she has innate instincts which have connected her soul to that of the writer. "The Writer's Desk" is more than a collection of intimate photographs. "The Writer's Desk" documents the visual eye which few have ever seen. It is one those intangibles which the bibliophile simply must have in one's personal library. Rejwan
