"Brief Interviews with Hideous Men (1999) is a collection of 23 short stories by American writer David Foster Wallace. Several of the stories are entitled "Brief Interviews with Hideous Men" and are presented as transcripts of interviews with male subjects. The interviewer's questions are omitted from the transcripts, rendered merely as "Q." These stories and the rest of the collection are characterized by dark dry humor, alienation, and unconventional sexuality."

That having been said, I'm having trouble coming up with what the exact question/comment might be. I know that it being ambiguous is sort of the point of the format, but I'm curious to hear your ideas!

How would the interviewee's girlfriend be relevant (what girlfriend)?

Given that the response is a question I reckon that what the interviewee said was not a question eg.

I'd like you to see another counsellor here.

I: I like myself.
Q: What about your girlfriend?
I: Who?
