I heard a very interesting interview during "The Next Chapter" show on CBC radio the other day. During the show, hosted by Shelagh Rogers, an interviewer asked the interviewee, Camilla Gibb, a Canadian novelist (the author of "The Beauty of Humanity Movement"), the following questions from the Proust Questionnaire:
Name your favorite writers.
Who's your favorite hero of fiction?
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
What phrase do you most overuse?
What do you value most in your friends?
What historical figures do you most despise?
Your favorite occupation?
What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery?
What is your principal defect?
The quality you most admire in a man?
The quality you most admire in a woman?
Where would you like to live?
If you want to hear the interview yourself, including Camilla Gibb's great answers, you can download the podcast at http://podcast.cbc.ca/mp3/nextchapter_20101101_40374.mp3. It's well worth listening to the entire show but the interview is at about the 22 minute mark.
