The fact is, for all its influence over the decades, <em>The Paris Review<\/em> has never had more than 20,000 subscribers at a time. Usually a lot fewer. On the other hand, last year we did a survey (not scientific, but not <em>not<\/em> scientific) and discovered that our subscribers tend to read the magazine from cover to cover. If you know the magazine, you generally know it cold. And you stand a passable chance of being a writer, or agent, or editor, or critic yourself. So, in the republic of letters, the <em>Review<\/em> is unavoidable, but that republic is tiny. (If you told most book-lovers that one single little magazine had published the first major stories of Jack Kerouac, Philip Roth, <em>and<\/em> David Foster Wallace, very few would believe you. Which is to say, if <em>The Paris Review<\/em> didn&#8217;t exist, no one would think to invent it.)<\/p>\n<p>Plus, here we are, a quarterly published in English, in New York City, named after a city in France. A review that runs no reviews\u2014only interviews. A fiction and poetry magazine whose founding editor was America\u2019s most famous sportswriter, performance artist, and fireworks technician.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s not to be confused?<\/p>\n<p><em>I just belatedly saw <\/em>Midnight in Paris<em> this weekend (I know, I know &#8230; ).

Was the sky any bluer when Hemingway wrote the last sentence of <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Sun-Also-Rises-Ernest-Hemingway\/dp\/0743297334\/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1315582441&amp;sr=1-1\">The Sun Also Rises<\/a><\/em>? Later, of course, he looked back on that time with yearning, and his nostalgia is contagious: he and his friends had been young. And a few of them happened to write great novels in their youth. On the other hand, they saw the world as a ruin: the <em>real<\/em> world, the world they had looked to inherit, was destroyed in the war, never to be recovered. As for Paris, the great moment of art and literature in Paris had ended a decade before they got there.<\/p>\n<p>I skipped the movie, but I saw the trailer, and I know the feeling\u2014either you admit that Paris makes you nostalgic or you pretend you are someplace else. I\u2019ve felt the same way in Kansas City. I feel it all the time in New York. The sight of Diane Keaton smoking a cigarette, banging on a typewriter, with a telephone\u2014a real telephone\u2014clamped against her ear fills me with longing more acute than any picture of Le D\u00f4me. And it\u2019s not because I prefer Woody Allen\u2019s older movies, or because I do love the novels of the seventies, but because it all happened just about the time I was born and things started falling apart. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p><em>What is your most prized book and what is its significance to you?<br \/> \u2014Max D.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t take good care of my books, but there are certain ones I\u2019m sorry to see go the way of the velveteen rabbit.
