I am an architecture student who is allergic to <\/em>The Fountainhead<\/a>. Can you recommend some books to counter with when well-meaning people, upon hearing that I\u2019m studying architecture, ask whether I like it? <\/em><\/p>\n

Tell them to read Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture<\/a><\/em>, if only for the first sentence: \u201cI like complexity and contradiction in architecture.\u201d (I\u2019ve always loved that beginning.) If you\u2019re looking for a novel about passionate architecture students (and what becomes of them), try Peter Stamm\u2019s Seven Years<\/a><\/em>. It\u2019s not as heroic or hot-blooded as The Fountainhead<\/em>, but it won\u2019t give you hives.<\/p>\n

What are your thoughts on audiobooks? I just finished listening to <\/em>The Fellowship of the Ring as read by Rob Inglis, and his narrative performance\u2014it\u2019<\/em>s so much more than a reading\u2014brought the book to life in a way I never thought possible. It\u2019<\/em>s so nice to be read to, isn\u2019<\/em>t it? And yet it\u2019<\/em>s so rare. (There\u2019<\/em>s no denying it: literary readings are often boring; a good writer does not a good reader make.) And the best thing is, you can listen to audiobooks while running, walking, driving, commuting. Why haven\u2019<\/em>t books on tape become more mainstream? And, as more of a metaphysical question, can I now consider <\/em>The Fellowship to be something I\u2019ve \u201cread\u201d?
\u2014William<\/em><\/p>\n

A friend raised the same question yesterday. She\u2019d just \u201cread\u201d the audiobook of Middlesex<\/em>\u2014but I say to hell with the scare quotes. If anything, I would guess, you know the text better for having heard<\/em> it, without the temptation to skim. (But this is only a guess.)<\/p>\n

As you say, there is nothing like being read to. And my sense is that audiobooks are in fact very popular. I don\u2019t read that way only because reading by sight is so much faster. But when \u201cSelected Shorts\u201d catches me at home, I can\u2019t turn it off\u2014even if (as sometimes happens) I don\u2019t care much for the story …<\/p>\n

Soon we hope to bring you Paris Review<\/em> stories as audio files\u2014stay tuned! <\/p>\n

Just when I think I have <\/em>The Paris Review\u2019s sensibility pegged, the magazine surprises me. Would you ever considering doing an Art of Fiction Interview with Cormac McCarthy? I just can\u2019t tell if he\u2019s literary enough for <\/em>The Paris Review.<\/p>\n

Every year or two we ask, and he says no. (Apparently he only talks to Oprah.) But\u2014for you\u2014we\u2019ll ask him again.<\/p>\n
