"The little info box about the interviewer at the end of the article tells you all you need to know."

That is a very round-about way of saying something negative about this article. Why not say straight out what you think is wrong with it? Why not? Maybe because it is easier for some people to agree with you when you don't present any actual facts.

What does that little info-box say? And why do you think that is ALL we need to know?

I think the implication is that this interview is more about the interviewer than about the interviewee. Not sure I agree. Infoboxes about the author of an article are a common practice. I see them even on recipe websites

Hmm, what is it that I needed to know? And what does the info box tell me? As another simpleton in this world, I did not understand this comment.

> Jean Marc Ah-Sen is the author of Grand Menteur, In the Beggarly Style of Imitation, and Kilworthy Tanner. He lives in Toronto.

You got something against Canadians?

No one has more issues with Toronto writers who claim to be part of the "Canadian literary underground" than other Canadians.

Your comment tells me all I need to know about you.

Obtuse commentary is worthless for discussion.
