[PU: New York: Picador], XI, 510 p. Paperback. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Einband berieben, Verschmutzungen auf Buchdeckel und Buchrücken, Vorderschnitt ungleichmäßig und faserig, Fleck auf Vorsatz, sonst guter Zustand / binding rubbed, soiling on covers and spine, fore-edge uneven and fibrous, stain on endpapers, otherwise good condition. - HOW DO GREAT WRITERS DO IT? From James M. Cain’s hard-nosed observation that “writing a novel is like working on foreign policy There are problems to be solved. It’s not all inspirational,” to Joan Didion’s account of how she composes a book—“I constantly retype my own sentences. Every day I go back to page one and just retype what I have. It gets me into a rhythm”— The Paris Review has elicited some of the most revelatory and revealing thoughts from the literary masters of our age. For more than half a century the magazine has spoken with most of our leading novelists, poets, and playwrights, and the interviews themselves have come to be recognized as classic works of literature, an essential and definitive record of the writing life. They have won the coveted George Polk Award and have been a contender for the Pulitzer Prize. Now, Paris Review editor Philip Gourevitch introduces an entirely original selection of sixteen of the most celebrated interviews. Often startling, always engaging, these encounters contain an immense scope of intelligence, personality, experience, and wit from the likes of Elizabeth Bishop, Ernest Hemingway, Truman Capote, Rebecca West, and Billy Wilder. This is an indispensable book for all writers and readers. / Contents introduction by Philip Gourevitch Dorothy Parker (1956) Truman Capote (1957) Ernest Hemingway (1958) T. S.
