_The Teachings of Don B._ (1992) does not include the interview in question. 
  It is a collection of short, mostly humorous, writings, most originally 
written for The New Yorker, and three very strange short plays.  I think one 
would have to be up on the New York artiste scene of the 60s, 70s, and 80s, 
which I most definitely am not, to fully appreciate Barthelme's gentle 
satire in many of these pieces.  Nonetheless, on the whole I found the book 
entertaining and would recommend it.  I have not read any of Barthelme's 
other work.
