Join Us for the Spring Revel on April 1, 2025, at Cipriani 42nd Street

Honoring Anne Carson

Please join us for our annual Spring Revel on April 1, 2025, at Cipriani 42nd Street. 

Since 1953, The Paris Review has been a home for writing that’s unafraid to take risks, work that invites the reader into proximity with another singular consciousness. In both 2023 and 2024, the Review won the ASME Award for Fiction, affirming the continued relevance of these editorial priorities. As an independent, 501(c)(3) nonprofit magazine, publishing challenging work that readers won’t encounter elsewhere is both a privilege and a responsibility—one that we could not fulfill without philanthropic support. Proceeds from the Spring Revel help us to pay the writers and artists whose work fills our pages, as well as cover our general operating and printing costs, which are constantly rising. 

On the night itself, writers, artists, and donors will gather to celebrate the magazine and raise a glass to writers who embody the Review’s spirit of creative courage, formal invention, and refreshing honesty. We will present the Hadada, our award for lifetime achievement in literature, to Anne Carson, whose radical body of work—including poetry, prose, and translation, as well as writing that combines and transcends these forms—has expanded our sense of what is possible in literature. We’ll also present two prizes for work published in the magazine in 2024: the George Plimpton Prize honors an emerging writer of exceptional promise, and the Susannah Hunnewell Prize is awarded for an outstanding piece of prose or poetry.  (A full list of previous prizewinners can be found on our Prizes page.)
