As one of the interviewees, I am certain that Palestrant's questions gave artists, composers, writers, musicians, film-makers, sculptor, songwriter, anthropologist, and Holocaust survivor much to think about. The thoughtful exchanges presented in Conversations About Creativity will give readers much to think about, too.
