You may have heard by now that there\u2019s a <\/em>Paradise Lost<\/a> movie in the works, starring Bradley Cooper as the Devil\u2014WTF?! Do you think film adaptation is a good or bad thing for books, particularly ones with wide recognition to begin with?\u00a0\u2014Liesel<\/em><\/p>\n

WTF indeed. The two most famous complaints about Paradise Lost<\/em> are that it\u2019s really, really long (Edgar Allan Poe) and that it\u2019s weak on visuals (T. S. Eliot). If ever a blind poet needed the magic touch of Ridley Scott, that poet was John Milton. But I\u2019m the wrong person to ask\u2014I\u2019ve been holding out for the movie version ever since tenth grade.<\/p>\n

Are there any books coming out this fall that you\u2019re particularly excited about?\u00a0\u2014Leo<\/em><\/p>\n

Lots\u2014and the stack keeps growing. Two days ago, for example, my sister gave me the galleys of a first novel, Various Positions<\/a><\/em>, by the young Canadian writer Martha Schabas, all about the sexual awakening of a ballerina. Anna tells me I\u2019m going to love it (no matter that I skipped Black Swan<\/em>) … But sticking just to novels that I\u2019ve actually read: in these pages I\u2019ve already mentioned Chad Harbach\u2019s debut, The Art of Fielding<\/a><\/em>, Nicholson Baker\u2019s sweet-natured book of smut, House of Holes<\/a><\/em>, and Jean-Philippe Toussaint\u2019s novella The Truth About Marie<\/a><\/em>. Readers of The Paris Review<\/em> proper know Ben Lerner<\/a> as a poet<\/a>; his first novel, Leaving the Atocha Station<\/a><\/em>, is about … well, it\u2019s about a young poet on a fellowship in Madrid, but I enjoyed it so much I read it twice (and laughed out loud both times). I keep going back to Ann Beattie\u2019s Mrs. Nixon<\/a><\/em>, which is fascinating and only sort of a novel; it veers from fiction into biographical essay, into essay on the art of fiction. Last night I stayed up late\u2014much later than I meant to\u2014reading Spring<\/a><\/em>, an addictively earnest novel about English yuppies in love, by David Szalay. Finally, Jeffrey Eugenides\u2019s novel The Marriage Plot<\/a><\/em> has what must be the most seductive first sentences of the season (seductive, anyway, to a certain micro-demo, which I suspect may include certain readers of the Daily):<\/p>\n

\n

To start with, look at all the books. There were her Edith Wharton novels, arranged not by title but by date of publication; there was the complete Modern Library set of Henry James, a gift from her father on her twenty-first birthday; there were the dog-eared paperbacks assigned in her college courses, a lot of Dickens, a smidgen of Trollope, along with good helpings of Austen, George Eliot, and the redoubtable Bronte sisters. There were the Colette novels she read on the sly. There was the first edition of Couples<\/em>, belonging to her mother, which Madeline had surreptitiously dipped into back in sixth grade and which she was using now to provide textual support in her English honors thesis on the marriage plot. There was, in short, this mid-sized but still portable library representing pretty much everything Madeline had read in college, a collection of texts, seemingly chosen at random, whose focus slowly narrowed, like a personality test, a sophisticated one you couldn\u2019t trick by anticipating the implications of its questions and finally got so lost in that your only recourse was to answer the simple truth. And then you waited for the result, hoping for \u201cArtistic,\u201d or \u201cPassionate,\u201d thinking you could live with \u201cSensitive,\u201d secretly fearing \u201cNarcissistic\u201d and \u201cDomestic,\u201d but finally being presented with an outcome that cut both ways and made you feel different depending on the day, the hour, or the guy you happened to be dating: \u201cIncurably Romantic.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the story behind the taxidermy in <\/em>The\u00a0Paris Review office?\u00a0\u2014<\/em>Birdman<\/em><\/p>\n

The Board assures me it\u2019s road kill.<\/p>\n
