Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Paris Review asks: who hasn't survived a tax audit, a snowstorm, a break-up, or presided over a murder? The next addictively clever Paris Review anthology is not a self-help manual; rather it is a wicked elaboration on the human effort to overcome--and instigate--trouble. Throughout these pages you will find men plagued with guilt, women burdened by history, scientists bound by passion, mothers fogged with delusion, and lovers vexed with jealousy. In the theme that encompasses every life, no protagonist--or reader --is exempt. Among those to appear: - Annie Proulx - Andre Dubus - Norman Rush - Charles Baxter - Wells Tower - Julie Orringer - Elizabeth Gilbert - Ben Okri - Rick Bass

Download or read book Women Writers at Work written by George Plimpton and published by Harvill Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collection of interviews taken from The Paris Review, sixteen of the world's great women writers speak about their work, their colleagues and their lives. Women Writers at Work revisits classic interviews with Rebecca West and Simone de Beauvoir along with exchanges with Toni Morrison, Maya Angelou and Nadine Gordimer, showing how different generations have found their voices. They talk about where they write.They talk about how they write. Most importantly they discuss why and what they write. As Margaret Atwood points out in her bracing introduction, the 'Women Writers' here cannot be put into a box, neatly labelled WW. The label should probably read WWAAW, 'Writers Who Are Also Women.' What unites them is less their gender than their commitment to the craft of writing and to life. Each interview is accompanied by a biographical and critical profile, a photograph of the writer and a facsimile manuscript page.

Book excerpt: "A dispatch from the front lines of literature." —The Atlantic The Unprofessionals is an energetic collection celebrating the bold writers at the forefront of today’s literary world—featuring stories, essays, and poems from “America’s greatest literary journal” (Time) For more than half a century, the Paris Review has launched some of the most exciting new literary voices, from Philip Roth to David Foster Wallace. But rather than trading on nostalgia, the storied journal continues to search outside the mainstream for the most exciting emerging writers. Harmonizing a timeless literary feel with impeccable modern taste, its pages are vivid proof that the best of today’s writing more than upholds the lofty standards that built the magazine’s reputation. The Unprofessionals collects pieces from the new iteration of the Paris Review by contemporary writers who treat their art not as a profession, but as a calling. Some, like Zadie Smith, Ben Lerner, and John Jeremiah Sullivan, are already major literary presences, while others, like Emma Cline, Benjamin Nugent, and Ottessa Moshfegh, will soon be household names. A master class in contemporary writing across genres, this collection introduces the must-know voices in the modern literary scene.
