Adam Langer’s latest column for the Book Standard is about author interviews. Who gives good ones? Who doesn’t? Langer sorts his answers into five categories: The Freewheeling Improviser, He/She Who Does Not Suffer Fools Gladly, The Unself-conscious Subject, The Consummate Storyteller, and The Genuinely Decent Human Being. Good stuff.
