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.
