Summary: Interesting idea but maybe not for a book.
Comment: An interesting idea to take a list of contemporary writers, track them down and pester them with questions asked in the moment and then locked their answers into print... fraught with dangers is the interviewing of authors, whether such interviews shed any light on the authors work is debatable but for the most part these conversations are at least snappy. As is to be expected the quality of each interview is dependant on the response of the reader, I found a few pearls(even amongst writers I have little taste for) but also found some a waste of page space. for interest authors iinterviewed: walter abish max apple ann beattie raymond carver samuel delaney barry hannah russell hoban william kennedy ursula le guin thomas mcguane tom robbins ron silliman edmund white
