WRITERS AT WORK: THE PARIS REVIEW INTERVIEWS: FIRST SERIES, edited and with an introduction by Malcolm Cowley, soft cover, 1977. BOOK CONDITION: fair. The text block is in near fine condition with no marks, dog-ears, or tears. The pages are age-toned and the edges are somewhat soiled. There is no bookplate, but the signature of a prior owner is written inside both the front and back covers. Not a remainder or former library book. The wraps are in fair condition (scratches on the covers, reading wrinkles in the spine). 7 ¾ x 5, 309 pages, 10 ounces XX [From the covers] The Paris Review interviews began in 1953 and continue today—a unique exploration of contemporary writers and writing. Recognized as an indispensable adjunct to modern literature, these interviews are also fascinating in their own right. Through searching questions addressed to great literary artists, they reveal, better than anything else could, the minds and methods behind the published works. As Van Wyck Brooks noted, "the writers draw portraits of themselves." Here is a sample of what critics said about this first volume of Paris Review interviews: I know of no book that better conveys the sense of being a writer (Walter Allen, New Statesman). For those who like to go behind the scenes of contemporary writing, these discourses, so frankly inquiring, so laden with experience, are a must (Edward Weeks, Atlantic Monthly). Dignified, searching, often profound. [These interviews] should appeal not merely to the bookish, but to any general reader interested, however mildly, in the literature of his time (Clifton Fadiman, Book-of-the-Month-Club News). The authors in this volume: E. M. Forster, Frank O’Connor, Dorothy Parker, Nelson Algren, Francois Mauriac, James Thurber, William Faulkner, Robert Penn Warren, Georges Simenon, Francoise Sagan, William Styron, Thornton Wilder, Truman Capote, Angus Wilson, Joyce Cary, Alberto Moravia. …
