I have known Madison Smartt Bell since shortly after the publication of his first novel, The Washington Square Ensemble, which I happened to use as required reading in my fiction writing class at Loyola College in Baltimore in the mid-eighties. A dozen books later, he's about to come out with the second volume of his trilogy covering Toussaint-Louverture and the Haitian Revolution. It's called Master of the Crossroads and is the subject of this interview, which was conducted via e-mail in three rounds. The following conversation is excerpted from questions sent from Bellagio, Italy, New York City and Cape Hatteras, North Carolina; with Madison's answers bouncing back from Baltimore, Maryland and Deer Isle, Maine, just after his recent return from Haiti.
The first volume of the Haitian trilogy, All Souls' Rising, begins with the slave meeting at Bois Caiman (where the first black revolutionary leaders were chosen in August 1791), and encompasses Toussaint's rise as leader through the great conflagration at Le Cap in June, 1793. Master of the Crossroads picks up in 1794 with adroit Toussaint's tenure as a world-class politician and perhaps the most progressive leader of his day. continued ABOUT CONTENTS CONTRIBUTORS ...

Madison Smartt Bell by Jack Stephens, madison smartt bell Something new, something really different. I kept running across it from early days writing.
http://www.bombsite.com/bell/bell2.html
Madison Smartt Bell by Jack Stephens jack stephens You're not black, you're not French, you're certainly not Haitian. The subject of Toussaint-Louverture and the Haitian slave revolt is, therefore, someone else's story embedded in a cultural history far from your own. What drew you to it? What is the genesis of your fascination with the subject?
madison smartt bell
js What does this particular piece of history mean to you personally?
msb
js Otherness propels, familiarity reassures, right? In the historical novel readers really want both, to be refreshed and confirmed by what is other (exotic) and the same (universal) in our humanity. Can you talk about this both as a writer and reader of the genre?
msb
js Does this affect your hands-on research, archivally and in the field?
msb
js Your prose, especially in the highly interiorized works like Dr. Sleep, reads and is experienced like that kind of hypnagogic state where one falls into dream but is not quite asleep, as though in a trance, a stroll, sometimes backwards, through a vivid shadow world. This makes some sense considering that your preferred work habit, until All Souls', was to avoid revision. Then that changed, especially in regards to your working relationship with your editors Sonny Mehta and Cork Smith. How?
msb
js Did Master get the same editorial treatment? Did this change the form of your scriptorial meditation? Or did you slide back into the old groove?

    13. The BEATRICE Interview: 1996
    A conversation with the novelist about race relations and his novel Ten Indians.
    http://www.beatrice.com/interviews/bell/
    Madison Smartt Bell
    "I've always felt that the Haitian slave revolution is a microcosm of American racial history.."
    interviewed by Ron Hogan
    In 1996, Madison Smartt Bell was chosen by the British literary magazine Granta as one of the twenty Best Young American Novelists. At the time, he had eight novels out, the most recent of which, All Souls' Rising , was in some ways a significant departure from his earlier work. In it, Bell, who was highly regarded for his portrayals of contemporary society, presented the first volume of a proposed trilogy about the Haitian slave uprising of 1791. Praised by critics nationwide, it went on to earn nominations for the National Book Award and the PEN/Faulkner award for fiction. Ten Indians was published a few months after the Granta awards were announced. Returning to the modern world, Bell tells the brief, but intense, story of Devlin, a Baltimore child psychologist whose attempts at community outreach with a martial arts school in an inner-city black neighborhood meet with tragic consequences. RH: After the historical setting of All Souls' Rising , you jumped right back into a very contemporary urban story with this novel.

    About Madison Smartt Bell A Profile by Wyn Cooper
    Ploughshares Winter 1999-00
    When asked about the role of martial arts in his life, Madison Smartt Bell replies that it gave him the opportunity to be bad at something. To those of us who have followed his career as a writer, it's something of a relief to know that this might actually be true. In sixteen years he has published nine novels and two collections of stories to almost universal praise, in addition to writing essays and reviews for Harper's, The New York Times Book Review, The Village Voice, and many other publications. He has taught at the Iowa Writers' Workshop, the 92nd Street Y, the Johns Hopkins Writing Seminars, and Goucher College, and his students have included Carolyn Chute and Darcey Steinke. In addition to writing numerous screenplays from his own novels and those of others, he is also an accomplished musician and songwriter. Madison Bell was born in 1957 and raised on the family farm outside Nashville. His parents had gone to Vanderbilt and had been friends with Allen Tate and some of the other Fugitive poets. Bell's mother taught him how to read when he was four, and he began having an image of himself as an author "when I was not as tall as the table." "By the time I was seven," he says, "I thought the writer was the most powerful person in the universethat's what I wanted to be." He went to a grade school that encouraged creative writing, and a high school that didn't. Near the end of his senior year, he had a spontaneously collapsed lung and was offered the choice of surgery or staying in bed for a couple of weeks to see if the lung would mend on its own, which it did. "Out of ennui," he says with a laugh, "I wrote my first real short story."

    All Souls' Rising
    by Madison Smartt Bell
    Penguin USA
    It might at first seem a strange move for Madison Smartt Bell (author of Soldier's Joy Zero db , and Save Me, Joe Louis ) to abandon his milieu of disturbed drifters and world-weary veterans for a period novel set in French colonial Haiti. And for the first 100 pages or so of All Souls' Rising , Bell does indeed seem out of his element chronicling the daily activities of haughty 18th-century slave owners. But then one of history's most violent slave revolts comes crashing into the novel and we are more firmly planted than ever in Bell's disturbing territory of conflicting ethical systems. Once you've waded far enough in, All Souls' Rising pulls you away with the tide and gives you a thorough drubbing for the next 400 pages. While the revolt was caused primarily by the inhumane treatment of the imported African slaves by their French masters, the uprising was also a byproduct of the revolutionary fever that had recently swept through colonial America and France itself. Before the collapse of the ancien regime , as a matter of fact, the mother country had made infant steps towards recognition of the rights of mulattoes (many of whom owned considerable amounts of property and slaves themselves). But now that the guillotine had toppled the economy of France, whites and slave-owning mulattoes alike were hesitant to conduct a social experiment in one of the country's few remaining cash cows.

    18. Bold Type: Essay By Madison Smartt Bell
    An essay by madison smartt bell on Anything Goes and the creative process.
    http://www.randomhouse.com/boldtype/0702/bell/essay.html
    y new novel, Anything Goes got started as a dream, the same way the opening of the novel begins (though in the book it's somebody else that dreams it), and the dream itself got started by a lot of other circumstances: nearly ten years ago I had a grant and a year off from my teaching job, but it wasn't convenient to go anywhere, so instead I bought a Les Paul. I grew up near Nashville, and played guitar and banjo since my early teens, mostly bluegrass and country blues. I'd always wanted to learn to play lead guitar, and this year seemed like a good time to do it, so I spent a lot of hours hacking along to records until I had picked up the basics. Nirvana was big then, and I had a copy of Nevermind Then Kurt Cobain showed up in one of my dreams, and explained to me how to play the song, and when I woke up I thought it might be the start of something, so I wrote a short story called "Never Mind," and when I read it over it seemed like it might be a jumping off place for a novel, so I began to write on that, in between things, and mostly just to amuse myself at first. It was a novel without much more of a plan than its characters have, which is to play music from roadhouse to roadhouse up and down the eastern seaboard, following good weather. Elsewhere, my old friend from the Hollins M.A. program, Wyn Cooper, had washed up in Vermont. He had left a Ph.D. program, for various compelling reasons, without getting the degree, and what he had to show for many years of education was a slender volume of verses called

    Interview with Madison Smartt Bell
    Still in his thirties, novelist and short story writer Madison Smartt Bell has won a following among readers of serious literature that any author would envy. In the twelve years since the publication of his first novel , The Washington Square Ensemble (1983), Bell has published not one or two but six more, and a pair of story collections besides, all to wide acclaim. His work has appeared frequently in such publications as The Atlantic Monthly Harper's Magazine , and the annual Best American Short Stories anthologies, and among the many honors he's received are fellowships from both the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. In the midst of this, he manages-somehow-to teach, at Goucher College in Baltimore, where he lives with his wife, the poet Elizabeth Spires, and their young daughter. Intellectually rich, tautly crafted, ambitious in scope and form, Madison Bell's fiction sets him apart from the vast majority of writers of his generation, weaned on the spare prose, buried emotions, and implied plots of the Minimalists. A rural Southerner by birth but an urban Easterner by habit, Bell brings to his work the rhythms and sensibilities of both regions, making a literature that, as novelist and critic Anne Bernays has written, "loves people and things the way they are while simultaneously expressing outrage that they are not better, wiser, kinder." Everywhere in Bell's work the reader finds extraordinary combinations, dramatic turns, and a bottomless appetite for story. In his last three novels alone, he has covered considerable territory.
