Our friends at McNally Jackson Books put together a winter reading list drawn from their favorite writers in The Paris Review Writers at Work interview series and recent issues. Being spoiled for choice, their only challenge was to keep it to two McJ bags full. In them, you’ll find:

The Paris Review Interviews, vols I–IV

The Anthologist, Nicholson Baker

New Yorker Stories (signed), Ann Beattie

Poems, Elizabeth Bishop

The Third Reich, Roberto Bolaño

The Cows, Lydia Davis

On Being Blue, William Gass

So Long, See You Tomorrow, William Maxwell
