Get to know your favourite authors with The Paris Review Interviews
December 29, 2011 11:15 am Book AdviceIt is interesting to find out more about your favourite writers, but many biographies are difficult to get into because they seem a little speculative. Many writers are very secretive and it is hard to imagine how their biographers could penetrate their private and working lives to any great degree.
However, I would certainly recommend getting your hands on a copy of The Paris Review Interviews. There are four volumes in total and they feature interviews from throughout the 20th century, taking in some of the most influential writers of all time. The interviews promise a much greater insight into the way great writers approach writing and they make wonderful reading for literature lovers.
