This is one heck of book for anyone that loves the art form of the interview and I do highly recommend it. 50 interviews, 1400 plus pages, as someone that is lucky to get 15 minutes a day to read, it is quite a commitment but well worth it. One of the things that makes it so interesting is that you have history on your side to think about what the subjects are saying and to contemplate how their lives have unfolded compared to their thoughts at that moment in time. It is especially fun when you catch a subject being a hypocrite in view of how they have since lived their life or to read them say things that you know now they would probably be embarrassed about.
