The Paris Review Book

The Paris Review Book: of Heartbreak, Madness, Sex, Love, Betrayal, Outsiders, Intoxication, War, Whimsy, Horrors, God, Death, Dinner, Baseball, Travels, The Art of Writing, and Everything Else in the World Since 1953 | The Paris Review

Over the past couple of weeks I've found it difficult to focus on reading with everything that's been happening. One comfort as I doomscroll has been the Art of Fiction tweets from Paris Review. A few of my recent favorites:
"Fiction is freedom" (Sontag)
"I hate almost all rich people, but I think I'd be darling at it" (Parker)
"I am not very bright or very witty or very inventive after the sun goes down" (T Morrison)

Squeeeee! The Bay Area Book Festival‘s first panel - The Book Review: Top Reviewers Share How It‘s Done. I have gotten more interested in reviews after reading the judging of the Tournament of Books that happens online each March. There have been some exceptional reviews there that reveal everything you need to know about a book in order to pick it up, and a bit about the perspective of the person reviewing it. #bayareabookfestival

Lindy Sounds like a great panel. 👍 7y

NataliePatalie Aaaaahhh! You must have been just a few rows in front of me! 7y
