The new issue of the Paris Review, no. 174, will soon arrive in bookstores. This will be the first published under the editorship of Philip Gourevitch, and only the second since the death of its longtime editor and guiding spirit, George Plimpton. As it did in the 1950s, the emblem of a hadada bird clutching a pen again graces the front cover, which shows a picture of the young Salman Rushdie. Features include an interview with Mr. Rushdie, a 20-page photography portfolio by noted Magnum lensman Gilles Peress, and a photo essay on Northern Ireland. Interspersed throughout are interviews Chinese dissident Liao Yiwu has conducted with such figures as a public-toilet manager and a professional mourner. Dan Chiasson and Jesse Ball contribute poerms.
