Following Plimpton

Many assumed that George Plimpton’s death would see his beloved Paris Review come to a quiet end, or at least that the small, influential literary journal would be transformed into something unrecognizable to the New York literati who are so devoted to it. But new editor Brigid Hughes has no plans to change the magazine, and insists that Plimpton’s rather complicated legacy was actually quite simple, as far as the Review was concerned: “I don’t think it needs to change. The goal is to publish good writing. I intend to do that.”
