This is a first for me... Little Brown has included my interview with novelist Gabriel Roth in the new paperback edition of his 2013 novel The Unknowns. It's set shortly after the dot-com crash and 9/11, and it's about a young San Francisco software tycoon who falls in love with a journalist and quickly finds out that he's got a lot to learn about relationships. I really liked the book, and Roth was extremely articulate about why and how he wrote it, which made doing the interview a lovely experience. I hope the paperback sells well; my interview is included in the reading group guide at the back.
