From stars like Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Drew Barrymore, and Robert DeNiro to politicians like Jesse Ventura, sport figures like Bobby Knight, and even Nobel laureates like Saul Bellow and Richard Feynman, Lawrence Grobel`s interview with our most fascinating public figures have made him one of the most celebrated journalists of his generation. His work has appeared in publications like the New York Times, Rolling Stone, Playboy, Details, and Movieline`s Hollywood Life, among others. In THE ART OF THE INTERVIEW, Grobel reveals the most memorable stories from his long career, offers examples of the most candid and illuminating revelations he has elicited from his interviewees, and takes us step-by-step through the interview process, from research to question writing to final editing.
