L as interviews with writers could be considered a genre apart. The Paris Review has made them so: post material that stands on its own. The Believer, a magazine published by Eggers in McSweeny, gathered in a book titled twenty-one interviews and "Book of writers talking to writers." A step further in this genre plausible because it confronts two people who make writing their life. Jonathan Lethem interview with Paul Auster, Zadie Smith does the same with Ian McEwan, Gary Zebrun challenges to Edmund White. With these pairs is minimal waste.
