The Paris Review
The Paris Review is a quarterly literary magazine published in English that was founded in Paris in 1953 by Harold L. Humes, Peter Matthiessen, and George Plimpton. In its early years, the magazine featured works from notable authors such as Jack Kerouac, Philip Larkin, V. S. Naipaul, Philip Roth, Terry Southern, Adrienne Rich, Italo Calvino, Samuel Beckett, Nadine Gordimer, Jean Genet, and Robert Bly. One of its most acclaimed features is the "Writers at Work" series, which includes interviews with famous writers like Ezra Pound, Ernest Hemingway, Truman Capote, Joan Didion, T. S. Eliot, Ralph Ellison, William Faulkner, Irwin Shaw, Elizabeth Bishop, and Vladimir Nabokov, among many others. This series has been recognized as a significant effort in preserving cultural history. In 1973, The Paris Review relocated its headquarters from Paris to New York City. George Plimpton served as the editor from its inception until he passed away in 2003, and since 2010, Lorin Stein has taken on the role of editor.

By Sophie Haigney June 17, 2025 Geoff Dyer’s new memoir, Homework, was originally called “A Happening.” There would have been something of a joke to this discarded title; from one point of view, nothing much happens in the book.

By Caleb Gayle June 12, 2025 “This is Goshen,” my mother and father would frequently say. The idea—that our home was the equivalent of the Biblical land of Goshen from Exodus—was simple, perhaps, but it said as much about my parents’ perceptions of the outside world as it did about their vision for our home.

By Nadja Spiegelman June 5, 2025 Agosto Machado’s apartment and studio on East Third Street is crammed, floor to ceiling, with steel bookcases bursting with books and boxes of files. Colorful printed fabrics are draped over the shelves, concealing most of their contents.

By Sophie Haigney and Olivia Kan-Sperling June 2, 2025 Each month, we comb through dozens of soon-to-be-published books, for ideas and good writing for the Review’s site. Often we’re struck by particular paragraphs or sentences from the galleys that stack up on our desks and spill over onto our shelves. We sometimes share them with each other on Slack, and we thought, for a change, that we might share them with you.
