Many of these interviews were never published. Others were originally published in such venues as \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Jerusalem Post\u003c\/i\u003e, and the PBS documentary \u003ci\u003eArguing the World\u003c\/i\u003e. Howe never organized his thoughts about the great renown of the last fifteen years of his life, during which he had resounding success with \u003ci\u003eWorld of Our Fathers\u003c\/i\u003e, received a MacArthur Fellowship, and became widely regarded as the leading left-liberal intellectual in the United States and, arguably, the leading literary critic in America. During this time, Howe also struggled to redefine the American Left in an environment that discounted and marginalized it. These interviews may have particular significance today, a period of new opportunities for the liberal Left, yet one in which it struggles to construct some coherent identity and program.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Rodden has taught at the University of Virginia and the University of Texas at Austin.
