"Hello, I have a question that's just an excuse to share my own brilliant thoughts and opinions." "Hello, I have a complaint about your book's politics." "Hello, I have a complaint about that person's complaint." "Excuse me, I was talking." "Hello, I have a question that was already asked, but I was asleep."
The article from *The New Yorker* humorously satirizes the typical Q&A sessions at author interviews by compiling a list of the most common, often inane, questions asked by audience members. It highlights the repetitive nature of these questions, which range from inquiries about the author's writing process, their daily routines, to personal life details like their pets or favorite foods. The piece mocks the audience's tendency to ask about the author's use of a particular word or their thoughts on unrelated topics, like the future of the novel or their opinion on current events, often ignoring the actual content or theme of the book being discussed. The satire underscores the disconnect between what the audience might find interesting and what might actually contribute to a meaningful discussion about literature.
