Customer Reviews

Interesting and available for free on the Internet

All the Paris Review interview volumes are interesting. This one is no doubt no exception. But I wonder if this in any way matters anymore. All the Paris Review interviews ( from all the eight volumes) are available for free online. What sense then does it make to think of this project in terms of 'eight volumes of interviews'? There are three- hundred reviews available . What this means in relation to the way we read about reality is a question many people are addressing now, and to which I have no special answer of my own.

Brilliance

A collection in which each article contains at least one essential guide for life. Though diverse in experience and outlook' all these writers truly know the reasonong behind their work. They pass on the reason to live.
