Women at Work: Interviews from The Paris Review

Ottessa Moshfegh

4.5/5 ( ratings)

“In a letter to his parents, George Plimpton once described The Paris Review interview as ‘an essay in dialogue on technique.’ As you will see from this volume, technique is always the main topic—how a writer begins to write, to think of herself as a writer; what struggles she meets; if and how she overcomes them. But thanks to the unusual method invented by Plimpton and the other founders of the Review in the early fifties, and still in use today, the conversation is never limited to a discussion of craft or structure. The dialogues turn into stories of their own.” —Ottessa Moshfegh, from her preface

Women at Work, the first anthology from the Paris Review Editions imprint, features interviews with Margaret Atwood, Simone de Beauvoir, Elizabeth Bishop, Joan Didion, Isak Dinesen, Hilary Mantel, Toni Morrison, Jan Morris, Grace Paley, Dorothy Parker, Claudia Rankine, and Marguerite Yourcenar.
