Original. 35,000 first printing. AnnotationSince its debut-issue interview with E.M. Forster, the Paris Review's "Art of Fiction" interviews have created a fascinating and unparalleled reservoir of dialogue with the world's most significant writers. The Review's first published collection of these interviews (featuring conversations with Dorothy Parker, Truman Capote, Ernest Hemingway, T.S. Eliot, Saul Bellow, Jorge Luis Borges, Kurt Vonnegut, Elizabeth Bishop, Joan Didion, and other luminaries of letters from the last 50 years) acts as a revelatory glimpse into the lives and habits of famous writers and a dynamic chronology of literary history. The interviews are frank (Parker: "My verses are no damn good....I gave it up, knowing it wasn't getting any better, but nobody seemed to notice my magnificent gesture"), combative (Hemingway: "When you ask someone old, tired questions you are apt to receive old, tired answers"), political (Vonnegut on the bombing of Dresden and SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE: "The raid didn't shorten the war by half a second, didn't weaken the German defense or attack anywhere, didn't free a single person from a death camp. Only one person benefited....Me. I got three dollars for every person killed"), and as thoroughly entertaining as a great work of fiction.
