The journalist is certainly a servant of circumstance, of current events, of the moment. The seed of his speech is ephemeral but anything but sterile. It is enough for him to perceive the ways in which circumstance is integrated into History, the ways in which events become situations. Above all, to perceive the role played by people, personalities, their complexity.

The interview is perhaps the most difficult and demanding chapter of journalistic art. Obviously, I do not underestimate good reporting, political or economic analysis, essay, chronicle, editorial, concise and apt commentary. However, everything is condensed in the meeting and conversation with a person. Especially when this person is iconic. Even more so when a person has already passed into history. Or when their position in the art world allows them to refer to their own personal code, without having a reason to use a common idiom, as is the case in politics, sports, or culture before someone crosses the boundary of convention.
