Review

"The
Paris Review was founded by Peter Matthiessen and Harold
L. Humes in the summer of 1953. The two young writers
were dissatisfied with the emphasis on criticism in
the literary magazines then being published—the
preference for "writing-on-writing" over writing
itself—and to address the problem conceived of
a new review singularly devoted to original works of
fiction and poetry. Matthiessen invited George Plimpton,
then a student at Cambridge, to take a position as editor.
Plimpton has headed the magazine ever since."

"Little magazines played
a key role in the triumph of early modernism. They were
emblematic of the new, hotbeds of radical experiment.
That was then. Now
we confront a culture obsessed with big numbers. Big-time
magazines have all but given up on fiction & poetry.
ZYZZYVA attacks the new smugness by asserting classical
values: the possibilities of individual vision; the
enduring magic of words; the delight of variety; absolute
freedom from commercial constraint." |
