The Paris Review Interviews


Enjoying a short break between two chapters (we'll talk maybe, hopefully, next year), I go back to turkey. Via the Internet, as so often, this library I never tire of the incredible depth of infinite shelf. This fall, a new section of the gallery, which opened periodicals.

I mentioned my love of old newspapers and archives (I'm the kind of guy who, after seeing The Gates of Paradise, will search the archives of the New York Times the Article evoking the "War of Wyoming," which inspired the mural Cimino). I could detail my example drifts among the items of vintage Time Magazine, which are all online , and free for some years (from 1923 to 2010: we find, for example here that the massacre of St. Valentine, one of the highest (ME) is Al Capone), or the library of Life Magazine, which covers in black and white teen made me dream to clear the strong line Floc'h (but whose site is now absolutely hideous, and requires research to systematically filter does not end up with miles of uninteresting photos red carpet of the 2000s).

is the opening of an incredible treasure I am talking about: the posting of all interviews the Paris Review this magazine founded by George Plimpton among others when drifting in Paris with expatriate Alexander Trocchi the early 1950s. Most large plumes of Western literature it is delivered in a theatrical format rather unusual, and it is a constantly renewed pleasure of jumping out of a Burroughs of 1965, more Harvard junk than ever, Hemingway described by Plimpton in the middle of a mess where the writings of Napoleon's Russian campaign on the side with mechanical toys, a small tortoise metal " and a small model of a biplane in the U.S. Navy (with a wheel missing) ", through a Houellebecq and Crumb all lately, and Borges, Cocteau and and Ginsberg, and Mailer and Huxley, Nabokov and (and I have not even searched the decades 1970, 1980 and 1990 ...). There is enough here to spend hours in front of it, or exhaust all the ink in his printer, for those who see the reading on paper.
