"Writer Interviews" is the most enduring and celebrated feature of the American literary magazine The Paris Review. Since its inaugural issue in 1953, featuring E. M. Forster, The Paris Review has consistently published lengthy interviews with the greatest writers of our time. Initially titled "The Art of the Fiction," it has gradually expanded to "The Art of Poetry" and "The Art of Criticism," among other topics. To date, the journal has published over 400 interviews, encompassing nearly every major writer in world literature from the second half of the 20th century to the present day. Writer Interviews have become The Paris Review's signature, establishing a paradigm for this unique genre. From preparation to execution, a single interview often takes months or even years. These interviews are not conducted to coincide with the publication of a new book, thus devoid of any commercial flair. Writers spontaneously discuss their writing habits, methods, moments of difficulty, and literary secrets. The content is witty and possesses significant documentary value. Coupled with the anecdotes surrounding the interviews, this column itself has become legendary, arguably "one of the longest-running cultural dialogues in world history."
