“Paris Review,” by Anthony Russo. (Click to enlarge.)
On Monday we announced a contest based on a recent archival discovery: a decades-old illustration, by Anthony Russo, of a Paris Review office packed with writers. To our surprise, after more than three hundred entries, we have only onewinner: David DeJong, a copywriter from Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The writers are as follows:
1. Joan Didion
2. Milan Kundera
3. Samuel Beckett
4. Tama Janowitz
5. Truman Capote
6. Saul Bellow
7. Kurt Vonnegut
8. William Styron
9. Norman Mailer
10. William S. Burroughs
11. John Updike
Congratulations, David! And thanks to all those who participated.
