Would you recommend a methodological book (up to date, and with new methods) or an article which talks about qualitative methods, especially interviewing? Thank you. Best
I like Rubin & Rubin, Qualitative Interviewing: The Art of Hearing Data.

Hi Lala,
'Interviews - An Introduction to Qualitative Research Interviewing' by Steiner Kvale is, in my view 'excellent.' It was published in 1996 so it depends on what you mean by up to date. What I particularly like is that Kvale goes beyond the interview itself and talks in depth about what to do with your data onca collected and links this all back to the interview, instrument design and data collection. Highly recommended

You might be interested to read about our experiences in combining Elite Interviews and Grounded Theory into one, the relevance and rigor of “constructivist-grounded theory in elite interviews” as a methodological approach. :

Thank you so much to everyone who immensely contributed to my 'list of books on interviewing' to be read during the next few weeks. I have already taken some of them from the library.

Be interested to hear your view after you have done your 'review'.
