The Road from Western Secret Services to ISIS

The interviews, published in The Paris Review, one of the world's most prestigious literary magazines, for more than half a century, bring the hidden, unknown secrets of the literary world to the readers. Novelists, storytellers and poets who shaped world literature come together in these interviews that sparkle as a genre in their own right. Who is in this magnificent cast that opens their world to the readers with their literary attitudes, views on life, writing habits, environments, works and views on literature?

From Margaret Atwood's foreword:

“...Writers, who are often lonely, realize through these interviews that they are not alone. Others are doubting, getting stuck, and getting stuck; others are poor and neglected; others were dragged into pointless literary debates and vilified by the press; Others have moved on, overcome obstacles and persevered.”
