I never owned that book, although I've read a bunch of the interviews in recent years, some of them on the Times site, some via ProQuest, and a few in the book itself, borrowed on Internet Archive (although maybe not because it seems not to be there any more, not even listed as "removed").
Whatever I may think of Reed now, he got people to see provocative things, and some of them came off pretty badly. I'd think that if he had significantly embroidered the quotes, some of the interviewees might have objected. But maybe some of them never even bothered to read the interviews when published. |
