So about a million and a half years ago, I interviewed this up-and-coming writer name of Gibson for a would-be stylebible rag called SPIN.

It wasn't quite the interview I would have wanted (fault entirely mine), and the editor hung it with the too-cute-by-half title of "New Romancer," but I sure would like to get ahold of it and archive it on v-2.org if anyone has a copy floating around anywhere.

What say you? Anybody reading SPIN in those days, between the Henry Rollins columns and encomia to Madonna?

Don't have that Issue ,
but i remember some WG in Spin;

Was that the article that also had WG's
text about the little girl who found the 'virtual Kyoto' in a box while out fleamarketing with her Moms ?

Cheers

FWIW, that article promted me to buy Neuromancer.

naw, that was a gemlike one-pager. this was a fullfledged innerview...

No copies of it in your porfolio?:-)
Are you the guy who wrote that book on Japan expanded from that wicked article from Details? The article with the awsome B&W photos and the call out "I don't know my future past next weekend..etc" that was appropriated by Bjork in Violently Happy off her debut,Debut?...

That article was so cool, I bought the hardcover and then loaned it and its gone... Great stuff

Adam: don't know if you found the Spin mag yet; is this it?

Sigh, no, that's the short story. The interview would have been '88. (I have always believed that it was the first interview, or mention of any note, with Our Gibson in a major national glossy, but I could be wrong.)

The book mentioned above must certainly be Karl Taro GreenFELD's "Speed Tribes," a passing magnificent work, but not, alas, mine.
