false<![CDATA[The Paris Review Interviews, II]]>5960601The art of the interview has never been more lively or engaging than in the pages of <i>The Paris Review</i>. Since this seminal literary magazine was founded in 1953, it has given us invaluable conversations with the greatest writers of the past half century, vivid self-portraits that are themselves works of finely-crafted literature. In this second volume, editor Philip Gourevitch selects a rich, varied crop of literary voices, including William Faulkner, Tony Morrison, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Graham Greene, James Baldwin, Stephen King, Philip Larkin, Eudora Welty, Peter Carey, Gabriel García Márquez, and more. "A colossal literary event" as Gary Shteyngart put it, <i>The Paris Review Book of Interviews, II,</i> offers an indispensable treasury of wisdom and insight from the literary masters of our age.58274230102007The Paris Review Interviews, IItotal:99|5:44|4:48|3:7|2:0|1:0|994331982541falsefalseTue Jan 27 00:00:00 -0800 2009Mon Jul 14 17:29:43 -0700 2008Tue Jan 27 16:16:39 -0800 2009 -Harold Bloom is super full of himself.
