You know what, let me just share the table of contents (review down the line):

  1. I looked for this issue on the RSS and went to Paris Review and searched it and couldn’t find it. Came back here and read that it is to be an October 2012 issue. Without an actual subscription, will these stories be available on my free Paris Review RSS? Denis Johnson’s (Train?) story is not available from the past issue.
