There seems to be a lot of good references for learning how to write a compiler. But I haven't been able to find much in the way of how to write a debugger. Is each debugger completely unique, or are there common techniques used to implement them? I'm particularly interested in debugging interpreted languages, but at this point anything would help.

Um... did you check Google? The first few hits look promising.

Well, I guess I was hoping for a qualified recommendation from someone who actually had written debuggers more than a general search strategy.

I considered that but was unimpressed by the customer reviews at Amazon. Have you actually read it?

I own it, but I've only sampled it casually. That seemed fine, but I wasn't trying to build anything.
