The letters concern plans for the interview and for subsequent meetings. In one letter Roth also comments on a recent trip to Spain, where, "aside from sundry excursions and impressions, I collected a little background toward, but only toward, a future piece of writing," and discusses a piece of collaborative writing done with his wife, Muriel.
