The Paris Review Biografía y Hechos

The Paris Review es una revista literaria trimestral en inglés con base en Nueva York, fundada en París en 1953 por Harold L. Humes, Peter Matthiessen, y George Plimpton. Plimpton editó la revista por 50 años, concluyendo con su muerte en 2003. En sus primeros cinco años, The Paris Review publicó las obras de Jack Kerouac, Philip Larkin, V. S. Naipaul, Philip Roth, Adrienne Rich, Italo Calvino, Samuel Beckett, Nadine Gordimer, Jean Genet, y Robert Bly. Desde entonces, se ha convertido en uno de los medios principales para escritores emergentes y establecidos en el mundo. El editor actual de la revista es Lorin Stein.[1]​ La revista ha publicado una serie de gran prestigio, llamada "Writers at Work" ("Escritores en el Trabajo"), que incluye entrevistas con personas como Ernest Hemingway, Truman Capote, Joan Didion, T. S. Eliot, Ralph Ellison, William Faulkner, Elizabeth Bishop, Vladimir Nabokov, Toni Morrison, Ian McEwan, y Jorge Luis Borges. Esta serie se ha llamado "uno de los actos individuales más persistentes de la conversación cultural en la historia del mundo."[2]​ Historia Según una declaración editorial publicada en la edición inaugural por William Styron, el propósito de The Paris Review era enfatizar el trabajo creativo, en ficción como en poesía, no la exclusión de la crítica, pero con el objetivo presente de simplemente eliminar la crítica del lugar dominante que alberga en la mayoría de revistas literarias.[3]​ Los editores fundadores de la revista incluyen a Humes, Matthiessen, Plimpton, William Pène du Bois, Thomas H. Guinzburg, y John P. C. Train. El primer editor fue el Príncipe Sadruddin Aga Khan. Du Bois, el primer editor artístico, diseñó el icónico logo de The Paris Review, que muestra a una águila, para incluir significado americano y francés: un águila americana sosteniendo una pluma y usando un gorro frigio, un símbolo de la Francia revolucionaria. La primera oficina de la revista fue en un pequeño cuarto de la casa editorial Les éditions de la Table ronde. El equipo de The Paris Review no tenía las llaves de la oficina, así que los que se quedaban a trabajar tarde tenían que escalar por la ventana, colgarse de la barda y saltar, a veces eran tomados por ladrones por la policía.[cita requerida] Otras ubicaciones legendarias de The Paris Review incluyen un carguero de grano en el Río Támesis anclado en el Sena desde 1956 hasta 1957, donde las conferencias editoriales eran amenizadas por sesiones musicales con personas como Alan Eager, Chet Baker, Peter Duchin, Kenny Clarke, y David Amram. Por razones prácticas fue reubicada, debido en gran medida a la falta de comunicación telefónica. El Café de Tournon, ubicado en el Rue de Tournon en la margen izquierda del Sena, era el lugar de encuentro para el grupo de empleados y escritores de la revista, que incluyó personas como du Bois, Plimpton, Matthiessen, Alexander Trocchi, Christopher Logue, y Eugene Walter. El primer piso y el sótano del apartamento de George Plimpton en la calle 72 de Nueva York se convirtió en la sede de The Paris Review cuando se trasladó de París a Nueva York en 1973. La revista ha consistentemente presentado los principales escritores del momento. Obras de Adrienne Rich fueron publicadas por primera vez en sus páginas, así como obras por escritores como Naipaul, Philip Roth, T. Coraghessan Boyle, Mona Simpson, Edward P. Jones, y Rick Moody. Selecciones de la novela Molloy por Samuel Beckett, aparecieron en la quinta edición. La revista fue también entre las primeras revistas en reconocer las obras de Kerouac con la publicación de su cuento "The Mexican Girl" en 1955. Otros hitos de la literatura contemporánea, ahora más antologías, también hicieron sus primeras apariciones en The Paris Review: Last Comes the Raven por Italo Calvino, Goodbye, Columbus por Philip Roth, Alice por Donald Barthelme, The Basketball Diaries por Jim Carroll, Far Tortuga por Matthiessen, The Virgin Suicides por Jeffrey Eugenides, y The Corrections por Jonathan Franzen. Time elogió The Paris Review como "«la mayor revista pequeña en la historia»" y Margaret Atwood dijo que "The Paris Review es una de las pocas revistas literarias verdaderamente esenciales en el siglo veinte — y ahora, del veintiuno." Serie de entrevistas Una entrevista con E. M. Forster — a quién Plimpton conoció mientras estudiaba en King's College, Cambridge — se convirtió en el primero de muchas entrevistas actualmente legendarias realizadas por The Paris Review. Ahora titulada Writers at Work ("Escritores en el Trabajo"), la serie de entrevistas de The Paris Review rápidamente se convirtió en una característica importante de la revista, elogiada por su visión innovadora en las vidas y artesanías de escritores. Aunque tienen una historia venerable, algunas de las entrevistas tuvieron éxito a pesar de sí mismas: la entrevista de Graham Greene casi terminó antes de que empezara cuando uno de los entrevistadores llegó con resaca y vomitó en su sombre en la puerta de Greene; y la entrevista de Nabokov era acortada cuando Jeopardy! estaba siendo emitido en la televisión. Sujetos de entrevistas tempranas incluyeron W. H. Auden, John Berryman, Saul Bellow, Jorge Luis Borges,[4]​ William S. Burroughs, Truman Capote, John Cheever, Isak Dinesen, T. S. Eliot, Ralph Ellison, Robert Frost, Allen Ginsberg, Ernest Hemingway, Joseph Heller, Kerouac, Norman Mailer, Henry Miller, Marianne Moore, Nabokov, Joyce Carol Oates, Dorothy Parker, Harold Pinter, John Updike, Kurt Vonnegut, Evelyn Waugh, E. B. White, William Carlos Williams, y P. G. Wodehouse. Entrevistados de eras recientes incluyeron Woody Allen, Maya Angelou, John Ashbery, James Baldwin, Elizabeth Bishop, Ray Bradbury, Joseph Brodsky, Raymond Carver, R. Crumb, Don DeLillo, Joan Didion, Louise Erdrich, Jonathan Franzen, William Gaddis, Seamus Heaney, Michel Houellebecq, Eugene Ionesco, Milan Kundera, Fran Lebowitz, Mario Vargas Llosa, Gabriel García Márquez, Ian McEwan, Arthur Miller, David Mitchell, Haruki Murakami, Philip Roth, Salman Rushdie, Stephen Sondheim, Susan Sontag, George Steiner, y Hunter S. Thompson. Serie impresa En 1964, The Paris Review inició una serie de impresiones y carteles de los principales artistas contemporáneos con el objetivo de establecer una relación permanente entre los mundos de la escritura y del arte[5]​ — Drue Heinz, entonces la editora de The Paris Review, comparte créditos con Jane Wilson para iniciar la serie. En el medio siglo desde su creación, la serie ha contado con muchos de los principales artistas que pasaron por Nueva York en las décadas posguerras — de Louise Bourgeois a William de Kooning a David Hockney, Helen Frankenthaler, Keith Haring, Robert Indiana, Alex Katz, Ellsworth Kelly, Sol LeWitt, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Motherwell, Louise Nevelson, Claes Oldenburg, Robert Rauschenberg, Larry Rivers, James Rosenquist, Ed Ruscha, y Andy Warhol.[5]​ La serie fue suspendida después de la muerte de George Plimpton en 2003.
