The Paris Review is a literary magazine featuring original writing, art, and in-depth interviews with famous writers.

Javier Cercas on the Art of Fiction: “Hell, to me, is a literary party.”
James Schuyler on Frank O’Hara: “I still can see Frank, standing on that street corner outside a pastry shop, holding a neatly tied-up box of God knows what—éclairs, perhaps.”
