I read Hernan Diaz’s Trust because I heard that she was a surprisingly great interviewer and I wanted to watch that interview. It’s an excellent book but her interview is better and the author is almost giddy as she consistently brings up angles and references that he didn’t even know about himself. So much research and thought behind her questions and comments.
Yeah that happens a lot from the handful that I’ve watched. I’ve seen her bring a few authors up short and express surprise and gratitude for the depth of her question. You can also see their whole engagement change when they realize this isn’t just a fluff thing. It’s neat to see.
