There's gold in them thar hills

The DNA of Literature, also known as The Paris Review interviews, will soon be available online. (Link via Chekov's Mistress)
"Now the Paris Review Foundation proposes to make this vast archival resource—what has felicitously been referred to as the DNA of Literature—available online, for free, to anyone who visits the Paris Review website."
One of my pals took interviews very, very seriously when she was a greenhorn journo. She'd go back to the Big Noise she was profiling four different times, wait for the right moment, etc etc. Then a wiser and more cynical journo set her straight: "What you wasting your time for 500 words? Screw this Paris Review shit, get me three quotes and a tagline."
Which explains a lot about contemporary Indian journalism.
