520 8 $aWhenever possible, Mitgang interviewed these international writers in their own backyards, alone; he is one of the few journalists who had the good fortune to do so. The interviews are not simply biographical entries but impressionistic portraits designed to reveal the creative lives of the authors, mostly in their own words.
520 8 $aIn one section of his Introduction, on interviewing techniques, Mitgang offers the reader an inside view of some of the tricks of the trade, including his surprising conclusion that in the encounter between interviewer and subject, honesty may be the greatest trick of all.
