Upon hearing of Italo Calvino’s death in September of 1985, John Updike commented, “Calvino was a genial as well as brilliant writer. He took fiction into new places where it had never been before, and back into the fabulous and ancient sources of narrative.” At that time Calvino was the preeminent Italian writer, the influence of his fantastic novels and stories reaching far beyond the Mediterran
Authors discuss their life and writing in revealing conversations in The Paris Review’s Writers at Work interview series.Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky 2015 “The good effect of translating is this cross-pollination of languages.” Aharon Appelfeld 2014 “My nights are a nightmare, quite often, but the nightmares are rich.

Gabriel García Márquez was interviewed in his studio/office located just behind his house in San Angel Inn, an old and lovely section, full of the spectacularly colorful flowers of Mexico City.
