摘要:I was so excited when Volume 3 of the world-famous Paris Review Interviews landed on my table that I began to devour it straight away. Here were the original interviews reproduced handsomely in a compact paperback. Margaret Atwood writes a brief but strong introduction: By the time the fifties were over … the Paris Review had become an institution, and its collection of interviews with writers was already the gold standard for such things. … To read the entire collection is to be given an unequalled overview of the complex, multidimensional writing world during the last half century. … Insofar as words on a page can re-create the flavour of a personality, these interviews do it.?$
