The pandemic continues, but the killing of George Floyd by police brought to the fore two other deep-rooted crises in our communities: police brutality and systemic racism in America. <em>The Paris Review<\/em> opposes racism and injustice. We are determined to work with contributors and readers and as an organization to make our industry a more equitable, dynamic, and creative place. This is a long process, but the <em>Review<\/em> believes it is vital and imperative work.<\/p>\n<p>This week, we\u2019re sharing six more Writers at Work interviews with Black American writers and listing resources for those who wish to contribute to the movement. May these conversations and organizations offer a measure of inspiration and consolation, and may spending time with these texts remind us that this necessary work is ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>Stay safe, whether you are at home or in the streets.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014The Paris Review<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/du-bois-small.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-145409 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/du-bois-small-1024x459.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"459\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/du-bois-small-1024x459.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/du-bois-small-300x135.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/du-bois-small-768x344.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 62.5em) 67vw, 100vw\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This week, we\u2019re highlighting more of the Black American voices in our archive by lifting the paywall on the following interviews (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/2020\/06\/01\/the-art-of-distance-no-11\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the interviews opened last week<\/a> remain available as well):<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/interviews\/2279\/the-art-of-fiction-no-119-maya-angelou\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Maya Angelou, The Art of Fiction No. 119<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought early on if I could write a book for black girls it would be good because there were so few books for a black girl to read that said this is how it is to grow up.

Delany, The Art of Fiction No. 210<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe city gets you used to crowds, used to people relating to one another in a certain way, like strong and weak interactions between elementary particles. The strong interactions only come into play when the particles are extremely close, less than the distance of a single atomic nucleus. Those are the interactions readers want to see in novels. At the same time, paradoxically, cities can be dreadfully isolating places. The Italian poet Leopardi wrote in a letter to his sister, Paulina, about Rome, that its spaces didn\u2019t enclose people, they fell between people and kept them apart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/interviews\/5053\/the-art-of-fiction-no-8-ralph-ellison\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ralph Ellison, The Art of Fiction No. 8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, mind, I recognize no dichotomy between art and protest. Dostoyevsky\u2019s <em>Notes from Underground<\/em> is, among other things, a protest against the limitations of nineteenth-century rationalism; <em>Don Quixote<\/em>, <em>Man\u2019s Fate<\/em>, <em>Oedipus Rex<\/em>, <em>The Trial<\/em>\u2014all these embody protest, even against the limitation of human life itself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/interviews\/7146\/the-art-of-fiction-no-239-charles-johnson\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Charles Johnson, The Art of Fiction No. 239<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve lost something. And so my question is, What does it mean to be civil? What kind of person do you have to be? That\u2019s an idea we can trace back through two thousand years of Western history, and the East as well, going back four or five thousand years. It\u2019s not a question that is going to go away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/interviews\/6283\/the-art-of-fiction-no-222-edward-p-jones\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Edward P.

This one white woman said she had trouble feeling or caring about any people who weren\u2019t like her. You hear that and it\u2019s like somebody slapped you in the face.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/interviews\/6806\/the-art-of-poetry-no-100-ishmael-reed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ishmael Reed, The Art of Poetry No. 100<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith literature you can condemn the powerful, and you can critique the powerful. Of course, Dante paid for it. He was never able to return to Florence. He died in exile. He endured a lot to speak his mind. They tell us, Don\u2019t write about politics. You know, because the politics is aimed at them. But Dante had a political office! And some of those characters in Dante\u2019s <em>Inferno<\/em> are political opponents of his. The same with Shakespeare. His work was political. I was reading <em>The Merchant of Venice<\/em> the other day and it includes one of the most devastating antislavery arguments ever written. So I don\u2019t know where they get the bourgeois idea that art shouldn\u2019t be political.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">*<\/p>\n<p>We also urge you to engage with the following
