“作家访谈”是美国文学杂志《巴黎评论》（Paris Review）最持久、最著名的特色栏目。自一九五三年创刊号中的E.M.福斯特访谈至今，《巴黎评论》一期不落地刊登当代最伟大作家的长篇访谈，最初冠以“小说的艺术”之名，逐渐扩展到“诗歌的艺术”“批评的艺术”等，迄今已达三百篇以上，囊括了二十世纪下半叶至今世界文坛几乎所有的重要作家。作家访谈已然成为《巴黎评论》的招牌，同时树立了“访谈”这一特殊文体的典范。 一次访谈从准备到实际进行，往往历时数月甚至跨年，且并非为配合作家某本新书的出版而作，因此毫无商业宣传的气息。作家们自然而然地谈论各自的写作习惯、方法、困惑的时刻、文坛秘辛……内容妙趣横生，具有重要的文献价值，加之围绕访谈所发生的一些趣事，令这一栏目本身即成为传奇，足可谓“世界历史上持续时间最长的文化对话行为之一”。

But thanks to the unusual method invented by Plimpton and the ot...(展开全部)
