Book Club 2025: The Paris Review #250

This is the latest issue, so I’m finally caught up! I mean, I’ve got a whole stack of old issues I bought the other year, but I’ve caught up with the more recent ones.

I’ve been reading this over the past couple weeks…

It’s an unusually topical issue, but slyly so.

The interview with Hanif Kureshi was fun. I’ve read only one of his books, The Buddha of Suburbia, and that was back in the days, and I’m not really tempted to read any more of his stuff. But he gives good interview.

Abdulah Sidran’s story about how his father got caught up in Tito’s anti-Cominform purges (by mistake) is also very topical.

It’s a good issue.
