Marathon Interview

Marathon Interview

I have just completed approximately 80 hours of interviews with my Turkish associates (now friends) Ugur and Burcu Polat. The interviews take the form of detailed written questions, submitted in advance, and presented to me by Burcu (who is a neurologist) while Ugur listens. They cover all aspects of my life and work and are very thorough. The plan is to convert them into a book, to be published in Turkish. The video interviews themselves may also be published in due course. I talk about everything under the sun philosophically, and sometimes other subjects of interest to me. The interviews are one of a kind and took an immense amount of work on the interviewers’ part. I do not discuss my personal life. I am grateful for their efforts, intelligence, and good humor.
