I know that I am not alone in sometimes craving nothing more than a nice, long browse through the self-help section of the bookstore. But I know that I\u2019m alone in admitting it to <\/em>The Paris Review! My question is, do you know of any authors writing in the self-help genre who have elevated the form and who you would qualify as literary?
Appreciatively,
Stan Hope<\/em><\/p>\n

Let your self-help freak flag fly! I\u2019ve already had occasion to recommend Love and Limerence<\/a><\/em>, by the late Dorothy Tennov. It\u2019s a book about what to do if you find yourself in love. This is my favorite self-help book, and I think about it often. An informal poll of The Paris Review<\/em> office reveals that everyone has been telling us to read The Artist\u2019s Way<\/a><\/em> (\u201cyou can skip the spiritual parts\u201d) but that none of us has read it.<\/p>\n

I used to frequent Chumley\u2019s and the Cedar Tavern. (I even went to the Algonquin once, thinking that it would be a glamorous throwback, but it turned out to be a tourist trap.) Lately even the White Horse Tavern is overrun with investment bankers. It\u2019s awful. What is the ideal place to spend a few hours drinking\u2014and still feel a hint of New York\u2019s rich literary past\u2014this fall?<\/em><\/p>\n

It may be a little low on mystique, but if you\u2019re in the Village and want to drink in the company of writers, you can\u2019t go wrong with Cafe Loup. It\u2019s crawling with them\u2014and there\u2019s always plenty of extra martini in the shaker. If you\u2019re hungry, order the fries. In Boerum Hill, writers\u2014those who can still make the rent\u2014tend to congregate at the Brooklyn Inn (a bar that features in Jonathan Lethem\u2019s Motherless Brooklyn<\/a><\/em>). I\u2019ve never been to Scratcher, in the East Village, except when some writer was having a party there\u2014but I\u2019m told it\u2019s hard to tell the difference. If you\u2019re headed uptown, there is always the Carlyle, a perennial tourist trap that happens also to have a wonderful bar, one celebrated in several poems by Frederick Seidel, including \u201cFor Holly Anderson<\/a>.\u201d <\/p>\n

These days I am often sandwiched in between an iPad and a Kindle on the subway. My urge is to whip out a book and very obviously read it. Any advice for those disheartened by finding themselves increasingly among e-readers of various stripes?<\/em><\/p>\n

You said it: whip that sucker out.<\/p>\n
