''The Paris Review'' is a quarterly English language literary magazine established in Paris in 1953〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.everywritersresource.com/topliterarymagazines.html )〕 by Harold L. Humes, Peter Matthiessen, and George Plimpton. In its first five years, ''The Paris Review'' published works by Jack Kerouac, Philip Larkin, V. S. Naipaul, Philip Roth, Terry Southern, Adrienne Rich, Italo Calvino, Samuel Beckett, Nadine Gordimer, Jean Genet and Robert Bly. The ''Reviews "Writers at Work" series includes interviews with Ezra Pound, Ernest Hemingway, Truman Capote, Joan Didion, T. S. Eliot, Ralph Ellison, William Faulkner, Irwin Shaw, Elizabeth Bishop, and Vladimir Nabokov, among many hundreds of others. The series has been called "one of the single most persistent acts of cultural conservation in the history of the world."〔Joe David Bellamy, ''Literary luxuries: American writing at the end of the millennium'', p. 213〕 The headquarters of ''The Paris Review'' moved from Paris to New York City in 1973. Plimpton edited the ''Review'' from its founding until his death in 2003; Lorin Stein has been editor since 2010.〔(Paris Review Names New Editor ), The New York Times〕 ==History== An editorial statement, penned in the inaugural issue by William Styron, stated the magazine's aim:〔William Styron, ''The Paris Review'' No. 1, pp. 11–12〕 ''The Paris Review'' hopes to emphasize creative work—fiction and poetry—not to the exclusion of criticism, but with the aim in mind of merely removing criticism from the dominating place it holds in most literary magazines. () I think ''The Paris Review'' should welcome these people into its pages: the good writers and good poets, the non-drumbeaters and non-axe-grinders. So long as they're good. The ''Reviews founding editors include Humes, Matthiessen, Plimpton, William Pène du Bois, Thomas Guinzburg and John P. C. Train. The first publisher was Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan. Du Bois, the magazine’s first art editor, designed the iconic ''Paris Review'' eagle to include both American and French significance: an American eagle holding a pen and wearing a Phrygian cap. The magazine’s first office was located in a small room of the publishing house Éditions de la Table ronde. Other legendary locations of ''The Paris Review'' include a Thames River grain carrier anchored on the Seine from 1956 to 1957. The Café de Tournon in the Rue de Tournon on the Rive Gauche was the meeting place for staffers and writers, including du Bois, Plimpton, Matthiessen, Alexander Trocchi, Christopher Logue and Eugene Walter. The first-floor and basement rooms in Plimpton's 72nd Street apartment became the headquarters of ''The Paris Review'' when the magazine moved from Paris to New York City in 1973. Philip Gourevitch was selected by the ''Reviews board of directors as George Plimpton's successor in 2005. Under Gourevitch's leadership, the ''Review'' began incorporating more nonfiction pieces and, for the first time, began regularly publishing a photography spread. ''The Paris Review'' also announced, in 2006, the publication of a four-volume set of ''Paris Review'' interviews. ''The Paris Review Interviews, Volumes I-IV'' were published by Picador from 2006–2009. Gourevitch announced his departure in the fall of 2009, citing a desire to concentrate more fully on his writing. In 2007, an article published by ''The New York Times'' supported the claim that founding editor Matthiessen was in the CIA but stated that the magazine was used as a cover, rather than a collaborator, for his spying activities. In a May 27, 2008 interview with Charlie Rose, Matthiessen stated that he "invented ''The Paris Review'' as cover" for his CIA activities. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Paris Review」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
