"The Very Last Interview 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." It's a ruthless self-dismantling in which the author, in this case, a late middle-aged white man, is strangely, thrillingly, not present. As Chuck Klosterman wrote about the book: "Logic suggests that people are best understood through the things they say, but that's not how the media usually work. People are actually defined by the questions they get asked (and the degree to which their answers can be framed to prove whatever was already assumed to be true).The Very Last Interview is David Shields doing what he has brilliantly done for the past twenty-five years: interrogating his own intellectual experience by changing the meaning of what seems both obviously straightforward and obviously wrong." -- Provided by publisher

'Nothing can assuage human loneliness. Literature doesn't lie about this - which is what makes it essential.' David Shields

Sohn polnisch-jüdisch-irischer Eltern, Soldat im 2. Weltkrieg, gefeierter Autor, besessen schreibender Eremit – wer war J. D. Salinger?
