That's what the literary magazine The Paris Review calls the collection of interviews with writers such as Truman Capote, Saul Bellow, Robert Stone & Elizabeth Bishop. If you savor essays and have a keen interest in authors and their writing, you will love The Paris Review: Interviews. If you prefer the computer to the book, the interviews are available online. Giving access to the "DNA" of literature was the dream of George Plimpton when he was the Paris Review editor; now anyone can download the secrets, stories, complaints and work habits of these writers from Dorothy Parker in 1956 to Joan Didion in 2006. Other compilations from The Paris Review are The Paris Review Book for Planes, Trains, Elevators and Waiting Rooms, The Paris Review Anthology, Playwrights at Work: Paris Review and The Paris Review Book of Heartbreak, Madness, Sex, Love, Betrayal, Outsiders, Intoxication, War, Whimsy, Horrors, God, Death, Dinner, Baseball, Travels, the Art of Writing, and Everything Else in the World since 1953. (Whew! Just a few search terms in that title!)
The Paris Review magazine is published quarterly; the nearest place to see a copy is the Fairfield University Library or Barnes & Noble.
