On the "history-repeats-itself" tip, an interesting excerpt from Dorothy Parker's musings on life in the 20s catches our attention.

She said, "Gertrude Stein did us the most harm when she said, 'You're all a lost generation.' That got around to certain people and we all said, Whee! We're lost."

This simple yet profound statement reflects the mindset of a particular era. It shows how a single phrase can have a significant impact on a group of people.

It makes us wonder if the same phenomenon is happening today. Are we, too, influenced by certain ideas or statements that shape our perception of ourselves and our generation?

And the question at the end, "You listening, Britney?" adds a touch of modern-day relevance, perhaps暗示 that the idea of a "lost generation" still holds some truth in our current times.

Overall, this excerpt serves as a reminder that history can often repeat itself, and we should be aware of the power of words and ideas.

What better way to commence this series of interviews than with the delightfully erudite Dorothy Parker?

Her knowledge and wit are truly captivating. And then, we have the charming and eccentric Truman Capote.

You could potentially stop right there and feel completely satisfied. But why would you when there are more interviews to come?

Further along, there is an interview with the great Hemingway, whose words have had a profound impact on literature.

T.S. Eliot, with his unique style and deep insights, is also featured.

Saul Bellow, Borges, Vonnegut, James M. Cain, Elizabeth Bishop, and last but by no means least, Joan Didion, who has an impeccable command of the English language.

Thanks to the artful and skilled interlocutors like George Plimpton, we not only learn about the personalities of these great authors but also their thoughts on writing.

Indeed, the interviews in this collection are far more instructive than any book on creative writing.

As you read through, you'll find it necessary to add a'must read' category to your ever-expanding reading list.

It's a fabulous collection that will fascinate you from start to finish.
