A novel event-free survival endpoint in locally advanced pancreatic cancer
Introduction About 30–40% of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) have a locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) which is non-metastatic and limited to the pancreatic region, but unresectable due to involvement of major blood vessels.1 The recommended management in eligible patients consists of chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil, irinotecan and oxaliplatin (FOLFIRINOX) or gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel (G/NP) combinations potentially followed by chemoradiation depending on...

‘Neruda’ explores the poet’s messy, brilliant life
By Troy Jollimore | Washington Post Few poets offer their biographers as rich a vein of material as the Chilean Nobel Prize-winner Pablo Neruda. Born in Parral, Chile, in 1904, Neruda transcended his modest origins and provincial upbringing to achieve success and significance far beyond the dreams of most writers. Books like “Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair,” “Residence on Earth” and “Elemental Odes” have sold tens of millions of copies.

Neruda: The Poet's Calling
We live in a time of fallen heroes. As a college student I carried around a dog-eared, bilingual paperback of Pablo Neruda’s Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada (Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair), hooked by its achingly beautiful imagery and emotional cyclones. Neruda was only nineteen when he published this second collection in 1924, propelling him to the top tier of Chile’s literati.

'Ninety-Nine Stories of God,' Illustrated: Part Four
49 One should not define God in human language nor anthropomorphize that which is ineffable and indescribable. We can only know what God is not, not what God is. We can never speak about God rationally as we speak about ordinary things, but that does not mean we should give up thinking about God. We must push our minds to the limits of what we could know, descending ever deeper into the darkness of unknowing. NAKED MIND Joy Williams has published ten stories in The Paris Review.
The Day the Carlton Began to Slip
The Carlton Hotel This sequence from Terry Southern’s 1959 novel The Magic Christian was originally removed over potential libel concerns. Sometime in the early 1970s, after the release of The Magic Christian movie, Terry dusted the piece off, hoping to bring his character, “grand guy” Guy Grand, the billionaire trickster, back for a series of new adventures, but the piece didn’t find a home. We are publishing it here for the first time.

This week, Claire Schwartz is on the line. Original illustration by Ellis Rosen. Dear Poets, I met a boy my first semester of college, and I immediately liked him, but then I watched as he fell in love with another girl. They had everything in common, and he experienced many firsts with her.

Paris Review - Easter, 1939
This day, a nation turns out for its own wake. The air is raw, but scrubbed by last night’s rain. Sunday rises, red and protestant, over the Potomac. Light’s paler synonyms scratch at the capital’s monuments, edging the blocks of the Federal Triangle, turning sandstone to marble, marble to granite, granite to slate, settling down on the Tidal Basin like water seeking its level. The palette of this dawn is pure Ashcan School.

Chinese Rhymes
Everybody who cares anything for old poetry in English knows how it feels—knows how awful it feels—when a poem is rhyming away and then suddenly the rhyme goes off the rails for a second because English pronunciation has changed since the time the poem was written. Take a look at this gallery of specimens. Exhibit A: Come live with me and be my love, And we will all the pleasures prove Millions of examples of that. Love rhymed with prove or move. Elizabethan poetry is rife with this.
Paris Review - After Wyatt
Rowland Scherman John Hall Wheelock passes his ninetieth birthday in September 1976. Born in Far Rockaway, New York, he was brought up in the neighborhood now occupied by Rockefeller Center, not far from the present location of Charles Scribner’s Sons, where he worked as an editor for many years.
Oliver Munday's Graphic Design with a Conscience
Perhaps the most striking images in Oliver Munday’s new monograph, Don’t Sleep (Rizzoli, March 2018), appear just before the title page. On the left-facing page is a nineteenth-century map of the Senate floor. On the page opposite is an illustrated cross section of the hull of a slave ship, scaled to the same size as the Senate and in the exact same semicircle shape.

Go Out in a Blaze of Glory
Robert Frost on a 1974 postage stamp. From “Dabbling in Corruption,” an essay by W. D. Snodgrass, in our Spring 1994 issue. Snodgrass was born on this day in 1926; he died in 2009. Here, he recalls seeing Robert Frost read at a Washington D.C. poetry conference in October 1962, when the Cuban Missile Crisis was at full tilt. Frost was eighty-eight then, and, as Snodgrass writes, “obviously in his last months”; he died the following January.
What We Can Learn From Neruda's Poetry of Resistance
By Mark Eisner March 26, 2018 Arts & Culture When I first embarked on writing a biography of Pablo Neruda over a decade ago, I wanted to explore the political power of poetry and its capacity to inspire social change. Neruda’s social verse was an integral part of the humanity he expressed; even without pen in hand, he boldly inserted himself into direct action. I happened to finish the book—Neruda: The Poet’s Calling—at the end of Trump’s first hundred days in office.
Staff Picks: Cucumbers, Chiropractors, and Kleptocrats
Kathleen Collins Ever since Nicole first handed me “Scapegoat Child,” the gorgeous yet harrowing piece of short fiction by the late Kathleen Collins in our Spring issue, I’ve found myself returning, time and time again, to the writer’s first posthumous collection of stories, Whatever Happened to Interracial Love? The book’s cover, which features a collage by Lorna Simpson of a young woman with a wash of purple ink for hair, sets the tone, and the stories that follow are just as arresting.
Watching 'The Phantom of the Opera' in Tehran
Still from The Phantom of the Opera. On the first Friday of every month, a thin mustached man wearing a trench coat and a pair of dark reflective sunglasses came through our door with a shiny black briefcase packed with VHS tapes. He was a man of few words, and our exchanges were brief. He would place his briefcase on our dining table, unclasp it, and ceremoniously spread open its contents with a gesture that said, I lay it all out before you.
Gabriel García Márquez's Road Trip Through Alabama

In the summer of 1961, Gabriel García Márquez lived with his family in the Webster Hotel on West Forty-Fifth Street in New York City. They paid two hundred dollars a month for a room. The thirty-three-year-old García Márquez had moved to the city a few months earlier to join Prensa Latina, the fledgling Cuban state news agency with offices at Rockefeller Center.
Scenes from Gerald Murnane's Golf Club
The Goroke Golf Club in Victoria, Australia. Photo: Tristan Foster The Australian writer Gerald Murnane is a man of profound contradictions. A recluse who craves attention. A Luddite who uses his smartphone to google himself. An author who retired long ago, then went on to produce his richest work. He was recently treated for prostate cancer, and yet he’s still the sprightliest person in the room.
Nelson Algren, The Art of Fiction No. 11
The interview took place in a dark and untidy Greenwich Village walk-up flat in the fall of 1955. A number of visitors dropped in to listen to Algren. Word had spread that he was giving an interview, and in that quarter of the city Algren is highly respected. He makes his living writing, has no set routine for working at it, nor seriously feels the need of one; he finds that he works best, or most frequently, at night, and he composes on the typewriter.
Dear Lynda: Help! Infectious Boredom and Pee-Hoarding Roommates
Have a question for Lynda Barry? Email us. A self-portrait by Lynda Barry. Dear Lynda, When you get bored, and you’re so bored you don’t even want to do anything to break up the boredom—it’s that creeping, infectious boredom that’s kind of like an anger—how do you avoid drinking too much? Thanks, Tipsy in Texas Dear Tipsy, Boredom has a hard time letting go of the remote control, so the secret is to get your body out of range so it can’t reach you. The remote control that boredom holds is your phone.
All the Misfits of This World Are Lonely
Radclyffe Hall, right, with her lover, Una Troubridge, 1927. The below comes from a love letter dated October 24, 1934, sent by the English writer Radclyffe Hall to Evguenia Souline, a Russian émigré. Hall, best known for her 1928 novel The Well of Loneliness, wrote with unprecedented openness about her lesbian identity; she often went by the name John. Though she lived with Una Troubridge, pictured above, she carried on a long love affair with Souline.
Effect of Race on Asthma Management and Outcomes in a Large, Integrated Managed Care Organization
Background Morbidity from asthma disproportionately affects black people. Whether this excess morbidity is fully explained by differences in asthma severity, access to care, or socioeconomic status (SES) is unknown.
7 Unique Readings for Your Wedding Ceremony
Ceremony readings are one of the most effective ways to infuse your service with a sense of who you are – and yet, many couples feel compelled to use the same handful of texts that are most commonly associated with weddings. For instance, Bible verses for Christian ceremonies are typically limited to 1 Corinthians 13 (“Love is patient, love is kind…”) and Ruth 1:16-17 (“Whither thou goest I will go…”), while Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s Sonnets from the Portuguese 43 (“How do I love thee?
Roz Chast's Vibrant Painted Eggs
Roz Chast, Egg #77, 2010-2013, eggshell, dye, and polyurethane, 2 1/4″ x 1 5/8″. Image via Danese Corey Gallery Roz Chast does excellent work on paper—and sure enough, her latest memoir, Can’t We Talk About Something More Pleasant?, has just won a National Book Critics Circle Award—but I think her real medium is the egg. She’s been doing great things with pysanky (i.e. Ukrainian painted eggs) for at least a decade.
Lunch Poem Letters
Toward the end of college and for several years after, I kept two postcard photographs taped above my desk: one of Anaïs Nin, the other of Frank O’Hara—the mother and father of my literary interests at the time. Nin was a gateway for me into feminist writing and into thinking about creativity and the self. My love for O’Hara, on the other hand, was ecstatic.
