The Paris Review, Issue 240, Summer 2022 Reviews

Read Harder #15 Read a new to you literary magazine. Eclectic collection of short stories and poetry. An interview with Sigrid Nuñez. I’ve read two of her books, interesting.The writing was very good.
-
My first time reading a literary journal like this, and surely not the last! A great way to get exposed to some modern poetry, a major blind spot for me, and other new fiction writers I might not have taken a chance on. I especially loved the Esther Yi and Emma Cline stories.
-
I love love loved Moon by Esther Yi. Will be following that person now. The two interviews were good. Terrance Hayes' poem and the poem by Chard deNiord I liked. I liked Riccardo by Dan Bevacqua. Some of the other pieces I actively disliked !
-
Interview was interesting and the stories were superb.

This issue is worth buying for the interview with Sigrid Nunez alone. But whilst the poetry is more accessible than one might usually find, I had a problem with the prose pieces all being similar. I found they were mostly a kind of American write-it-as-you-see-it, dry observations, shallow-ish, a succession of prosaic passages that begged you to find them charming: I didn't find it possible to do that either with the writing or any of the characters. Paris Review is great but this one was a bit of a slog
