Originally published from Paris, the review moved to New York in the sixties but retained its name. It has built an enviable reputation for discovering the best new voices in fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. This is Paris Review's 249th issue. Inside:
Rosmarie Waldrop on the Art of Poetry: 'It puzzles me that people say my work is difficult. If you read it, it’s very simple.'
Javier Cercas on the Art of Fiction: 'Hell, to me, is a literary party.'
James Schuyler on Frank O’Hara: 'I still can see Frank, standing on that street corner outside a pastry shop, holding a neatly tied-up box of God knows what—éclairs, perhaps.'
Prose by Josephine Baker, Caleb Crain, Marlene Morgan, Morgan Thomas, and Fumio Yamamoto.
Poetry by Hannah Arendt, Matt Broaddus, Sara Gilmore, Benjamin Krusling, Mark Leidner, James Richardson, and Margaret Ross.
Art by Ayé Aton and Ron Veasey, and cover by Sterling Ruby.
