      Sex can give you things? I thought, like entropy, it only took away. Now I’m intrigued.

      damn son, if you’ve never gotten anything out of sex, you’re doing it wrong

      I was so ready to love what Lorin Stein was doing, but one after another the Paris Reviews he’e done have been so square hip. Would that he wobble off a bannister at his dreamy party and leave the editorship to someone who has taste instead of insecurity

      I was so psyched for this issue I called my bookstore & they didn’t have the Paris Review so I ponied up for a digital subscription…  but then the bastards sent me the summer issue instead of the fall issue, even though the fall issue is listed as The Current Issue, damn it, and that’s what I was hoping I’d get.  Must have DC interview…

      I’ve gotten ONE VERY PRECISE THING out of sex, and ONE VERY PRECISE THING ONLY.

      Actually, I’ve never had sex. Not the way I really want it.

      You ought to complain to their subscriptions manager – you’ve basically been robbed of a quarter of your subscription. Non-profits and lit mags are awful about this sort of basic customer service thing.
