A little warning about interviews

 I love interviews. But here is Gabriel García Márquez with a cautionary note:

I had, and still have, a prejudice that may be unfair against interviews understood as a session of questions and answers in which both parties make an effort to maintain a revelatory conversation … An immense majority of the ones I have not been able to avoid … ought to be considered as an important part of my works of fiction, because they are no more than that: fantasies about my life. On the other hand, I consider them invaluable, not for publication, but as raw materials for feature articles, which I value as the stellar genre of the best profession in the world.
