And on Wednesday, July 15, at 7:30 <small>P.M.<\/small>, <em>TPR<\/em> editor Emily Nemens will talk with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/authors\/31896\/kelli-jo-ford\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kelli Jo Ford<\/a> as part of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenlightbookstore.com\/event\/kelli-jo-ford-emily-nemens\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Greenlight Bookstore\u2019s Zoom series<\/a> (RSVP required). Each author\u2019s work from the <em>TPR<\/em> archive has been unlocked this week to help you get prepped and psyched for the events. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Kelli Jo Ford\u2019s \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/fiction\/7288\/hybrid-vigor-kelli-jo-ford\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Hybrid Vigor<\/a>\u201d (issue no. 227, Winter 2018) is the story of a mule with the bad, if motherly, habit of stealing calves. The story, for which Ford won the 2019 Plimpton Prize, is part of her debut novel, <a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/a\/1531\/9780802149121\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Crooked Hallelujah<\/em><\/a>, a multigenerational saga about four Cherokee women, which she and Emily will discuss on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Benjamin Nugent, winner of the <em>Review<\/em>\u2019s 2019 Terry Southern Prize, has been a frequent contributor to the magazine since \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/fiction\/6249\/god-benjamin-nugent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">God<\/a>\u201d appeared in issue no. 206, Fall 2013 (and was performed by Jesse Eisenberg in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/podcast\/6038\/god-etc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Episode 9<\/a> of <em>The Paris Review Podcast<\/em>). It\u2019s sort of a tale about a poet, or a poem, and offers a peek into the college milieu of his recently released story collection, <a href=\"https:\/\/bookshop.org\/a\/1531\/9780374158606\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><em>Fraternity<\/em><\/a>, as do \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/fiction\/6473\/the-treasurer-benjamin-nugent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Treasurer<\/a>\u201d (issue no. 217, Summer 2016) and \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/fiction\/7175\/safe-spaces-benjamin-nugent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Safe Spaces<\/a>\u201d (issue no. 225, Summer 2018). Obviously, this is an uncertain time for thinking about the collective return to campus life; Nugent offers a socially distant way to go back to school and ponder some of the complications of college.<\/p>\n<p>Most recently, in issue no. 231, Winter 2019, Nugent spoke with George Saunders for his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/interviews\/7506\/the-art-of-fiction-no-245-george-saunders\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Writers at Work interview<\/a>. Nugent develops an easy rapport with Saunders, whom he describes as \u201cchatty, kind, quick to shoot down any glib analysis of his work, and free with an anecdote, often casting himself as a blunderer whose illusions land him in hot water.\u201d It\u2019s a companionable and insight-filled conversation between two people who are obviously enjoying each other\u2019s company. Nugent\u2019s passion for Saunders\u2019s work is plainly evident in \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/2020\/01\/06\/how-to-imitate-george-saunders\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">How to Imitate George Saunders<\/a>,\u201d an essay that he wrote for the <em>Daily<\/em> shortly after the interview was published.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, Nugent will discuss the work of Leonard Michaels.
