1979 Interview With Douglas Adams

An anonymous reader points out the inaugural issue of the online sci-fi mag Darker Matter, which start off with a bang by publishing an interview with the late Douglas Adams that has not seen the light of day in 28 years, except for brief excerpts published in the magazine that commissioned the interview. The first two parts are now online with the last part coming next month.

    I know Douglas was notorious for missing publication deadlines, but this is ridiculous!

    I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

      I just hope that after they publish part 3 of the article, Ian releases .MP3s of the original cassettes of the interview, which are likely entirely different.
