Books In some of the best interviews it is the author themselves who are illuminated, the work being secondary. Dan Epstein of Hybrid interviewed Generation X author, Douglas Coupland and it became the strangest and maddest experiences of his young journalistic life: "After two changes in schedule -- and then even after the disaster at the World Trade Center -- I was able to get Douglas Coupland on the phone. Talking with Douglas Coupland is like listening to an audio book of a William Burroughs cut-up novel as read by Bob and Doug McKenzie. I wasn’t able to include our entire dialogue because it was about 25 pages long (including 5 pages of going off and talking about bad television shows and comic books…and the “uhs” and ”I don’t knows” would have filled up 3 pages by themselves)."
