@bbradyb: I completely agree. I've come back to this interview about a dozen times over the last couple of weeks because it bothers me so much. It's painfully obvious that the interviewer is far out of her league and she has no idea who she is talking to. In turn, Mr. Ashbery is far more gracious to her than she deserves. I think what really bothers me is that this sham interview could be someone's introduction to someone as beautiful as John Ashbery.
Is this a real interview - or poor John as a victim of a SNL skit? She is such a stereotype of a bad interviewer (disconnected, insensitive, having a list of stupid questions rather than allowing the questions to arise from the conversation, etc, etc) that it had to be either parody or bad taste. I am sorry that such an incredible heart, mind and talent as John Ashbery has to be subjected to such bad art.
i can't stand for my voice, either Q_Q
