For writers, this is great because you read so many great authors talking creativity, style and how thei personal stories shaped their works.

After that, there is a non-fiction section containing interviews with several intellectuals. This part was less compelling to me because those interviews were mostly done in the late 90s and early 2000s, so they are mostly about George W. Bush, which is a little dated. A lot of intellectuals digging in Israel and Palestine's conflicts as well.

But that last part was the one that increased even more my TBR list. (Centrists will have some reading suggestions, which is really rare, since centrists are little represented between intellectuals.) I was curious about what some of those guys would think of the Trump administration.

I'll make sure to reread to make notes.
