Finally, the literary review you've never read has a new editor you sort of know! The Paris Review has announced that New Yorker writer Philip Gourevitch will edit the august publication after the ouster of Brigid Hughes.

First announced on FishBowlNY, The New York Times reports:

Mr. Gourevitch (pronounced gor-A-vitch) said in an interview that he applied for the job because of his fondness for "a magazine with a great legacy that does not need to be remade so much as revitalized."

"The magazine has stayed very fresh in some rapidly changing times, and it did it by sticking to a clear sense of publishing the best material it could find," he added. He said he would add new features, including a portfolio of poems by a single poet rather than single poems by many poets throughout an issue.

Congratulations, Philip. We await not really reading your work.
