Recenzii
"Taken in isolation, each of these interviews (with only a few lackluster exceptions) acts as a stunning glimpse into a remarkable mind. Taken in their totality, the interviews begin to snick against each other until it seems that the authors are sparring in some marvelous palaver, and that you, lucky reader, are a bystander at the greatest literary dinner party ever held." -Nathan Ihara, LA Weekly
"It's a collection of interviews with writers that has an impossibly long subtitle and an equally high number of quality interviews." -Jeff Baker, The Oregonian
