4.0
Longtime reader of the Paris Review and I’ve been happy with where the direction of the magazine has been going.
Fiction standouts to me were The July War, A Way with Bea, Good Boy, and Saint Culthbert’s Incorruptible Body.
Like many, I’m not always fully on board with some of the poetry choices, but there are some that usually stand out to me with each issue. In this one those were the ones from Nicole Sealey, John Lee Clark, Emma Hine, Margaret Atwood, and Gerald Stern.
Of course, the portfolio from Troy MIchie was a highlight of the issue.
As for the interviews, I tend to come back to them as I’ve read more of the author’s work. Just my thing.
I’m happy to keep seeing a good number of works from women identified writers, and writers of color.
