Paris Review, Lorin Stein, and The Week

Hey catching up on The Week, I discovered that the Paris Review has a new editor. He was featured in one of my favorite sections, where a writer or editor presents six book recommendations.

I love testing my book knowledge by reading these lists -- have I heard of all the books recommended, are they books I expect the person to recommend or is the list unexpected and adds new shades or a startling turn to my preconceived notions, and best of all, are they books that I haven't heard of and am excited to learn about.
