The summer 1958 issue of The Paris Review, number 19, containing the first appearance of "The Art of Fiction XXII", an interview with Henry Green conducted by Terry Southern. Octavo, original pictorial wrappers, illustrated throughout. Henry Green (1905–1973), the pen name of Henry Vincent Yorke, was an English novelist associated with the experimental currents of twentieth-century British fiction. In the interview, Green reflects on his unconventional prose, his interest in dialogue-driven storytelling, and his belief that fiction should capture the rhythms and ambiguities of everyday speech rather than adhere to strict narrative conventions. Discussing works such as Living, Party Going, and Loving, Green emphasizes the importance of suggestion, omission, and atmosphere in shaping a reader’s experience. The magazine also contains poetry, drawings, an essay, and short stories by Philip Roth and V.S. Naipaul. In near fine condition.
