The opening of the text introduces Kilmer's purpose in bridging the gap between literary theory and practice. He outlines his approach in gathering informal statements from established authors, revealing their experiences and philosophies regarding their craft. This initial section sets the tone for a broader discussion, featuring perspectives on topics such as the relationship between war and creativity, the role of women in literature, and the influence of commercial interests on artistic expression. Kilmer establishes a dialogue with these authors that aims to humanize them, highlighting their struggles, ideals, and the societal contexts they navigate in their work.
