“Da li su svi ovi intervjui sami po sebi dobri i kvalitetni? Pa, rekla bih da nisu i da Frimen često baš i nije pričao sa svim ovim autorima o bog zna čemu bitnom.
Međutim, glavna stvar koju sam izvukla iz ove knjige i zbog koje mi je i bila zabavna jeste to što služi kao svojevrsni (skromni) vodič kroz savremenu prozu. Spisak knjiga za čitanje mi se u međuvremenu duplirao i bilo mi je interesantno da čujem nešto što do sad nisam znala o književnicima i književnicama koji se ovde pojavljuju, a koje sam već ranije imala prilike da čitam.
(Takođe, da se ne lažemo, da je nisam dobila za džabe i da mi nije bila pri ruci u momentu kad kod sebe nisam imala ništa drugo za čitanje, verovatno bi mi blejala još neko vreme na polici.)”

“This collection was not as I had anticipated. I picked up based on the title only, and was expecting a full on overview of whose who in literary fiction in the last 30 years or whatever. Think Wikipedia/ textbook like articles. Turns out they are excerpts from interviews with authors with a brief opening overviews. But no matter, I adored these ... very readable and Freeman's got a knack for turn of phrase. Full disclosure: I read only interviews of authors whose work I was familiar with on some level which ended up being like 75% of the book. Also, some of my favorite interviews are from the 2000-2010ish era, and there is something intellectually refreshing about thinking about the political/social context of the some recent past. This made for great bedtime reading since I could finish an interview or two in that time period.”
