- theli0nheart 5y agoWhere does it say it’s a parody issue? An April 1 publication date isn’t nearly enough evidence to make that claim, and the interview itself isn’t written in a cheeky way. What seems to make you think this is the case?
- aaronharnly 5y agoConsider that the issue is introduced as the “inaugural issue” of a companion quarterly for young readers. Then consider these entries from the table of contents: - You Whoreson Cullionly Barber-Monger! 9 Bully-busting Insults from Shakespeare - Your Struggle: Karl Ove Knausgaard Helps You Navigate the School Yard https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2015/04/01/the-paris-review-for-young-readers/ https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2015/04/01/the-paris-rev...
- theli0nheart 5y agoOk, yup. You’ve convinced me. This is definitely a joke issue. :D Also, the included word game is…hilarious. https://www.theparisreview.org/word-hunt https://www.theparisreview.org/word-hunt
