This anthology commemorating the 50th anniversary of the venerable Paris Review magazine bursts with energy. Selections from interviews about writing with such authors as John Updike, Thornton Wilder and Wendy Wasserstein form what George Plimpton calls a “DNA of literature.” Don’t be put off by the heft of this volume: The pieces are short, intense and utterly engaging.
