Anne Rice describes the purpose and process of writing Feast of All Saints,"I had been doing research for that novel for about ten years. I started it long before I did Interview with the Vampire, which was really the first work that I had published. What I was trying to do there, more than bring to life the free colored community that had existed in the 1840s. Before the Civil War is when they really had the identity, and that's what I wanted to write about in Feast of All Saints, when they had a whole society that was their own. Included in their community was the inventors of daguerreotype. a famous colored inventor that worked out a process for refining sugar. There were colored painters, there were colored sculptors who were famous for doing beautiful sculptures that was in the graveyards of New Orleans . There was one very famous colored playwright, Victor Sejour, that went to Paris and scored many successes in Paris." Most importantly she says that she wanted to talk about them as people first and free people of color second. To that end, Anne Rice profiles Marcel who grew up thinking his life had no limits and battled forces within and outside of his community to live the life he wanted. She also describes what The Feast of All Saints Day represents for those in New Orleans.
Interview was conducted in 1980 in her Victorian near 18th and Castro in San Francisco. She was full of insights, humor and warmth.
