The Paris Review Interviews

By on November 23, 2008 in In the Media

Norman Mailer’s April 2007 interview, among others, have been collected in a new publication: The Paris Review Interviews Volume 3. From their description:

With an introduction by Margaret Atwood, this volume brings together another rich, varied crop of literary voices, including Martin Amis, Norman Mailer, Raymond Carver, John Cheever, Harold Pinter, and more. “A colossal literary event,” as Gary Shteyngart put it, The Paris Review Interviews, III, is an indespensible teasure of wisdom from the world’s literary masters.

The Guardian has posted a mini-review of this new collection today.

Mailer’s 2007 inteview is also online, as is his original 1964 chat with The Paris Review.

    Mailer's fascinating interview with Andrew O'Hagen collected in the new PARIS REVIEW collection is his second interview in this journal, appearing originally in No. 181 (summer 2007). I believe he is one of the few writers to be twice interviewed by PARIS REVIEW. His first interview appeared IN PARIS REVIEW 150 issues earlier, in No. 31 (winter-spring 1964). It was conducted by Columbia University professor and Victorian scholar, Steven Marcus, and is one of the most important and revealing interviews he gave over a long life. Mailer was interviewed perhaps 1,000 times. The Marcus interview is reprinted in CONVERSATIONS WITH NORMAN MAILER (1988) and, in part, in CANNIBALS AND CHRISTIANS (1966).
