Answer : The relevant RDA rule for this case is 6.2.2.10.2 - Complete Works in a Single Form which prescribes to Record one of the conventional collective titles as the preferred title for a compilation of works that consists of, or purports to be, the complete works of a person, family, or corporate body, in one particular form such as: Correspondence, Novels, Speeches, Lyrics, etc ...
Comment : Remember that 6.2.2.10.2 is not a closed list so you can choose whatever term is appropriate if it’s not already listed there. As this a compilation of Pracanda’s interviews, the 240 is correct. Under RDA, the decision to create a conventional collective title (formerly “uniform title”) based on whether the title proper is adequate or not (as we used to under AACR2, .cf LCRI 25.10) no longer applies.
