The Paris Review Interviews, III: The Indispensable Collection of Literary Wisdom (The Paris Review Interviews, 3)

No piece of writing gets so close to the heart of a writer as Paris Review Interviews. They are the most sophisticated interviews one can read. The magazine has successfully employed knowledgeable professionals to conduct the interviews because the person interviewing a writer must know the writer's work very well. I have read the four series of the interviews and enjoyed all of them. These interviews will tell you about the art of writing because being too theoretical - perhaps it all starts to sound very fake when one writes theories on art.

I bought these for my son who is a very good writer himself. Great vignettes of great writers.

I purchased this complete set for my hard to buy for son in law who is a professional business writer. He has been glued to these volumes with their interesting interviews for the past several evenings and even reads highlights aloud to us! Its the best present I have ever found for him.

Great opportunity to peak in to a conversation with a bunch of great authors.

Any one who is interested in writing or writers should read these books. In depth interviews with some of the best writers of the 20th century. Best bargain money can buy.

My son in law asked for this and was glad to get it. I will enjoy reading some of the interviews when I visit them.

marvelous .

Great writers, great insights.
