{"product_id":"the-paris-review-no-19","title":"The Paris Review No. 19","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Paris Review at its absolute peak — Summer 1958, Number 19, the issue that ran Philip Roth's story \"Epstein\" alongside V.S. Naipaul's \"My Aunt Gold Teeth\" and Henry Green's landmark Art of Fiction interview, one of the most quoted in the series. The cover is by Saul Steinberg — a characteristic iron-and-glass architectural drawing, signed in the plate. Jacques Villon contributes a seven-drawing portfolio. The editors at this moment were Plimpton, Matthiessen, Donald Hall, Robert Silvers, and Blair Fuller, with Sadruddin Aga Khan as publisher. Back cover carries a United States Lines shipping advertisement illustrated in the modernist style of the period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe contents page illustration is by William Pène du Bois. Poetry by Philip Larkin (\"Referred Back\"), James Merrill, and Robert Pack, among others. A genuinely important issue in the magazine's run — the Roth story alone gives it lasting significance as an early appearance of a writer who would define postwar American fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Paris Review","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41668526997637,"sku":null,"price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/2403\/2389\/files\/IMG_8574.jpg?v=1779721826","url":"https:\/\/thehoundbooks.com\/products\/the-paris-review-no-19","provider":"The Hound Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
