The Paris Review: Issue 189

Synopsis

The Paris Review was founded in 1953 and has published early and important work by Philip Roth, V.S. Naipaul, Jeffrey Eugenides, A.S. Byatt, T.C. Boyle, William T. Vollmann and many other writers who have given us great literature of the past half century. The Paris Review is one of the seminal literary magazines, a groundbreaking publication that has consistently, over six decades, brought great writers together from all over the world. Its legendary interview series alone represents the single most important body of work that celebrates writing about writing. Publishing quarterly, each issue is a tribute to the possibilities of the written word and under Philip Gourevitch's canny editorial leadership it looks set to continue and expand on what it has achieved in its illustrious life to date.
