Edward Said is a prolific interviewee and this is only the most recently released of a number of available books that collect his interviews (I know of four, but there may be others).

In these conversations with Tariq Ali, recorded in Edward Said's Riverside Drive apartment in New York in June 1994, about a decade before he finally lost his battle with cancer, Said brings his considerable intellect and deep personal engagement to bear on some of the most troubling and volatile issues of our time as he ranges back over his own dislocated existence, his initiation into politics, his involvement with the Palestine cause, his approach to the study of culture and his pervasive love of literature and music. Intimate, personal, thought-provoking and absorbing, these conversations capture Said as political activist, cultural historian, professor of literature and music aficionado -- and confirm his position as one of the most passionate and thoughtful intellections of our time.
Praise for Edward Said:"Indefatigable, irascible, and devastatingly charming, he leaves legions of followers and fans in every corner of the world."--The Village Voice"Arguably the most influential intellectual of our time."--The Guardian
