A fine copy of the Winter 1995 (Volume 137) Paris Review Interview Issue. Presents the most in-depth Interview with the controversial American intellecutal-writer,…which appears in published form for the very time and has not been collected in book form. Celebrated for its brilliance and tenacity as one of the world's greatest literary publications, The Paris Review is perhaps the most influential and most important of its kind. The Paris Review is best-known for its Author Interviews, which are indispensable to an understanding and appreciation of 20th-century and contemporary literature. But the magazine has also published fiction and essays of the highest quality. Susan Sontag's reputation as THE essayist par excellence tended to scant her corollary achievement as a writer of fiction. Although it is true that her essays are superior, she has written enough important work in fiction, and discusses what she believes she has achieved in the interview with Edward Hirsch, the great poet and essayist. Her biographer brilliantly sums up her "aesthetics-as-ethics" work as follows: "Art is not separate from life, but is its highest form" (Benjamin Moser). An absolute "must-have" title for Susan Sontag collectors. This title is a classic Issue. As far as we know, this is the only copy available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A rare copy thus. Winner of the MacArthur Genius Grant, the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1977 for "On Photography", the National Book Award in 2000 for "In America", and the Jerusalem Prize in 2001. Shimon Peres, in awarding the Jerusalem Prize, described Sontag as "one of the world's finest writers and greatest minds". One of the most influential and important writer-intellectuals of the 20th century. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER SUSAN SONTAG TITLES IN OUR CATALOG). no.
