Philip Gourevitch, editor of the Paris Review

American short story writer Leonard Michaels once said that he hated to use adverbs because the 'ly' endings seemed like sloopy trailers.
This enticing bit of information is in a lost interview that was recently unearthed from the Paris Review archives and features in the latest edition of the literary magazine.
Also in that issue is a charming photo essay about dirigibles that explore the terrain of tree canopies, prospecting for flora and fauna, and a feature on the collages Louis Armstrong made which are now on display in the Louis Armstrong House and Archives at Queens College.
