Now if the Borders and Nobles of the world here on the left coast would get them in stock...

Well spotted, jkt. I looked on their website a few days ago, but saw nothing.

I've never seen The Paris Review on this side of the pond. Not even in Paris...

Another interview with Ray scheduled for the July 2010 FAMOUS MONSTERS:

I finally got copies from a mega bookshop this morning. Probably when you were posting your message.

Of course, the cat is out of the bag as to the name of Ray's next anthology with this article. The picture selected for the cover art sits in Ray's study. That's all I'm sayin'.

FROM DINOSAURS TO ANCIENT EGYPT?

You started this, jkt!

The title is also the name of a comic book character.

Alas, I don't have the whole interview, so the clue I'm looking for probably wasn't in the linked extract. My next guess was THE BORE OF ALL TIME ... although Ray probably wouldn't give one of his own books a title like that.

Seriously, though, RB has discarded, or failed to use (so far), some wonderful titles. THE BLUE REMEMBERED HILLS is one, and my favorite, DOWNWIND FROM DEATH, is another. The latter was of course the book Crumley was working on in DEATH IS A LONELY BUSINESS.

An X-man character would be another hint.

In my comics days I was a DC fan, and I never got into the Marvel universe (well, except a bit of Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four).

But just to see if something clanged a bell, I looked up the Wikipedia article, and found enough X-men characters to fill a football stadium. And sure enough, at least THREE had names that match Ray Bradbury short stories! So the trail is cold. But I don't mind waiting anyway ... knowing the title of a forthcoming book just makes me impatient. And besides, I've bought so many books in the early months of this year that I've even backed off ordering A PLEASURE TO BURN for the present. You might say I'm a bit overbooked.

Just to note you can buy The Paris Review directly from their website. Just click on the Current Issue on the menu bar then on the bottom is an option to buy the magazine.

Oops, I forgot to add thanks for info!

Issue arrived today. The new short story collection is tentatively titled Juggernaut.

The website Open Culture has this article about author interviews The Paris Review is making available online.
