NEW ON THEPARISREVIEW.COM

+ PAUL AUSTER on gathering evidence, dodging lightning, and telling the
bare-bones truth

"You make a pact with yourself to tell the truth, and you'd rather cut off
your right arm than break that promise."

http://www.theparisreview.com/tpr167/auster.html

+ JIM CRACE weighs the merits -≈ and demerits ≈- of research

"Facts don't help. If you're not a persuasive talker at a party, no one's
going to believe you, even if everything you say is true."

http://www.theparisreview.com/tpr167/crace.html

+ PORTFOLIO: From the files of Gerard Malanga

After working with Warhol in 1969, Malanga began carrying his Nikon wherever
he went, taking photographs of friends and literary acquaintances: ROBERT
LOWELL, JAMES JONES, JOHN ASHBERY, JIM CARROLL, WILLIAM BURROUGHS,
CHRISTOPHER ISHERWOOD, ROBERT BLY, ALLEN GINSBERG, ANDREW WYLIE, and others

-----------------------------------------------------
THE PARIS REVIEW REVISITED: Highlights from the Archive

+ A level-headed talk with STANLEY KUNITZ

"One of my primary convictions is that I am not a reasonable poet."

http://www.theparisreview.com/tpr083/kunitz.html

+ From the lion's mouth: CHINUA ACHEBE on the danger of not having your own
stories

"I instinctively took sides with the white people. They were fine! They were
excellent. They were intelligent. The others were not... they were stupid
and ugly."

http://www.theparisreview.com/tpr133/achebe/achebe1.htm

+ EDMUND WILSON & VLADIMIR NABOKOV: the friendship and the feud

"I detest Plato, I loathe Lacedaemon and all Perfect States. I weigh 195
pounds."
