More specifically, The Missing is "mini-interview with Ben Tanzer," which you may read here. You may also read some excerpt below. Cool? Quite so, I'd say.

What project(s) are you working on right now that you're most excited about?
I recently submitted a nonfiction manuscript which is a deep dive into the movie After Hours - though also a rumination on the death, grief, Kafka, Patti Smith, living a creative life, journaling, and The Basketball Diaries, the latter of which I sought to channel by working on the book every day for several months to craft the first draft in real time - sort of auto nonfiction, which may actually just be memoir or diary - and my intent was to capture the kinetic energy, swagger, and flow of The Basketball Diaries. I also drew on journal entries I started writing in the nineties and continued for many years, ultimately abandoning the practice when my children were born and I started getting published - only to return to journaling recently, which I also drew on for this new book. All that, and I interviewed key creatives, journalers, and others who influenced the work, including at least one person I believe you know - and transcripts of those interviews have also been integrated into the book.
