"The Paris Review books should be given out at dinner parties, readings, riots, weddings, galas -- shindigs of every shape. And they're perfect for the classroom too, from high schools all the way to MFA programs. In fact, I run a whole semester-long creative writing class based on the interviews. How else would I get the world's greatest living writers, living and dead, to come into the classroom with their words of wisdom, folly and fury? These books are wonderful, provocative, indispensible."--Colum McCann, novelist and Hunter College professor
"A small treasure. The interviews are literary landmarks, and the gossip, humor, ideas, and practical advice dispensed are bracing."--
San Francisco Chronicle "The most remarkable and extensive interviewing project we possess."--
The New York Times "Utterly absorbing . . . They are all fascinating and often quite funny."--
The Boston Globe "Groundbreaking, eclectic, indispensable Q&As."--
