WHC: How do you go about writing a book? Let's take this chapter on Haiti and the Dominican Republic. What goes into actually writing that chapter? Do you have the articles strewn in front of you? Do you write as you read? Do you like the information first? Do you write on pads of paper? On note-cards? What do you do to bring this to life?

DIAMOND: Here is how that chapter on Haiti and the Dominican Republic evolved. I've never been to Haiti. I hadn't been to the Dominican Republic until I was doing research for the book.

    A couple of people—my friend John Terborgh—had mentioned that Haiti and the Dominican Republic are like a controlled experiment. They share one island, with very different outcomes: Haiti, a basket case; the Dominican Republic more 

successful. So with that in mind, I thought this was a case I ought to learn more about. So I called up John Terborgh, my old college classmate, to tell me on the phone about his experience. He had been to both Haiti and the DR. We had a one hour phone conversation. Then I asked him who else I should talk to. He had a student who had done a lot of work in the DR, so he gave me the address of that student. I wrote that student.
