TPR Challenge

 What could be more appropriate than reading an interview in conjunction with a work (or works) by the interviewee?  Hence, the TPR (The Paris Review) Challenge.  I have challenged myself to read each of the 64 interviews alongside some work by the writer being interviewed.  Here's the list I created at the start:    (I will update the list with links as each one is completed.)
