The Very Last Interview

This "is a unique work, a lacerating self-examination that came about when David decided to gather every interview he ever did, going back nearly 40 years. If it was radio or TV, he transcribed it. He wasn't sure what he was looking for, but he knew he wasn't interested in any of his own answers. The questions interested him: approximately 2,700, which he collated and cut down to form 22 chapters focused on subjects that include process, childhood, failure, capitalism, suicide, and comedy. Then, according to Shields, 'the real work began: rewriting and editing and remixing the questions and finding a throughline.'"--
