When writers were individuated and fearless
By Constance Walsh on May 24, 2009
Format: Paperback
Mine is a 1959 paperback with introduction by Malcolm Cowley. Interviews by various other writers, some well known, but their identities are totally discrete in the interviews. Here are portrayed Francoic Mauriac, E.M. Forster, Joyce Cary, Dorothy Parker, James Thurber (who I'd had no taste for until I 'heard' him speak here), Thornton Wilder, William Faulkner, Georges Siminon, Frank O'Connor, Robert Penn Warren, Alberto Moravia, Nelson Algren, Angus Wilson, William Styron, Truman Capote, Francoise Sagan. Here are souls on fire, or drowning; proud, pathetic, deeply funny, ingenious, opinionated, reactive, seemingly nonchalant, dangerously passionate, men and women who cannot not write. The interviewers are divine in their straight-faced prompts. The spaces between the words plummet the reader into oceanic depths beyond language. I cannot get enough of such character, soul, intelligence. It has become ancient and rare as the bones of saints. I want to feed on The Paris Interviews and nothing else. And laugh, weep with gratitude for those who bled words their whole lives through, and the editors and publishers who gave them to us.

paris review nurturing writers
By donald j von volkenburg on May 24, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
the entire series of interviews with prose writers and fictions writers is a treasure ... in the pleasure of reading what was discussed in the interviews ... and in the long chain of published series of so many interviews. what joy. my son is self-publishing his first novel and this first book of paris review interviews impelled him to write "the devil dreams in the darkness" but to also self-publish it in the gathering, non-corporate sharing of what we know, and what we experience, and how we express our experience with our gathering of words around that experience. i have 8 of the paris review collections of interviews and return to them often for pleasure, and for intellectual suggestion about what i write.
