Did you miss it? Don\u2019t worry: we had the foresight to bring a photographer.\u00a0<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>At Cipriani 42nd Street, more than five hundred people gathered as we feted <strong>Richard Howard<\/strong>, a poet and a former poetry editor of\u00a0<em>The Paris Review<\/em>,\u00a0with our Hadada Award for lifetime achievement.\u00a0He was introduced by his friend\u00a0<strong>Edward Hirsch<\/strong>, who called him an \u201cAmerican Proustian,\u201d one who\u2019s given us \u201can ongoing critical investigation of the past itself. He\u2019s not so much looking over his shoulder as much as letting what\u2019s over his shoulder look over him. The more he throws his voice and conceals, or pretends to conceal, the more it seems to come back to him as his own counter music. As an indefatigable editor, teacher, and intellectual mentor, as perhaps the most sympathetic reader in the history of American letters, Richard Howard has certainly provided a distinguished lifetime of service to American literature and culture.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Howard\u00a0himself took the stage to deliver remarks that were as lapidary as one of his poems. \u201cPoetic identity,\u201d he said, is \u201ca series of impersonations held together by a cunning, central intelligence. Maybe identity is not a construction for which we must find rules but an intelligence, a consciousness, that there is a distinction between action and acting \u2026 This is the notion of many people we recognize as poets. What we ultimately recognize, after many ways of putting their identity to ourselves and to the people who come under or into such efforts as writing or reading or recognizing, is that such an attempt is poetry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The filmmaker<strong> Todd Solondz\u00a0<\/strong>awarded\u00a0<strong>Vanessa Davis\u00a0<\/strong>the Terry Southern Prize\u00a0for Humor, but not before musing on the various and sundry failures of any bookstore\u2019s \u201chumor\u201d section, where terminally unfunny books abound. \u201cSo much fiction is so funny and nonfiction is so funny, so why do they have the humor section?\u201d he asked. \u201cIt made me think this is a kind of sanctuary, and a place that people go to find something funny. My heart goes out to people who don\u2019t have a sense of humor and have to find it where they can. I know it\u2019s very challenging for some, and I don\u2019t mock people if they don\u2019t have a sense of humor. I feel bad for them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Davis, for her part, said, \u201cComics themselves can lean toward humor and simplicity, but I like to use them to explore things sometimes that are not funny\u2014that are pretty complicated. I feel glad that some lightness and fun came through in \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/2016\/07\/13\/summer-hours-part-1\/\" target=\"_blank\">Summer Hours<\/a>.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alexia Arthurs<\/strong>\u00a0received the Plimpton Prize for Fiction for her story\u00a0\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/fiction\/6472\/bad-behavior-alexia-arthurs\" target=\"_blank\">Bad Behavior<\/a>,\u201d which, she said, \u201cat its foundation, is an immigrant story. This is important at this time when we are made to feel unwelcome in this country, so thank you.\u201d The novelist\u00a0<strong>Yiyun Li<\/strong>, who introduced Arthurs, dilated on that theme: \u201cI came into this country with two suitcases, without knowing a single person, and things turned out fine for me. My father \u2026 was the first person in his village to graduate high school, and when he was going to the university, the villagers pooled their money to buy a suitcase for him. And my grandmother had only the money to give him a pair of socks. Eventually he became a nuclear physicist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All of us at the<em>\u00a0Review <\/em>extend our thanks and gratitude to all who attended. As our editor Lorin Stein said in his closing remarks, the Revel allows us to remain financially independent, and that independence is more critical now than ever before:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I\u2019ve always been mindful of the manifesto written by William Styron for our first issue, in 1953, when he proclaimed this would not be a magazine for factions, for drum beaters, for propaganda. That this magazine would honor writing for its own sake. Art for the sake of art. I also knew that the men and women who started this magazine were not apolitical. So many of them devoted so much of their writing lives to the cause of racial justice, the environment, peace. And yet the only time George Plimpton weighed into political discussion in the pages of this magazine was to deplore a lack of government funding for the arts or to protest a stricture on free speech. When the NEA instituted rules on obscenity, George turned down their money. And you, our patrons, were there to keep us independent. And you may need to be there again. And you will be because you believe, we believe, we have always believed, in the freedom of this space. The aesthetic space.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Take a look at the photos below, plus more from the\u00a0<em><a
