The magazine published an excerpt from Mr Murnane’s novel Border Districts and one of its writers travelled to Goroke to interview the author.
Mr Murnane, aged 77, is the author of 12 other books, beginning with Tamarisk Row, published in 1974.
The magazine, now headquartered in New York with a small but extremely highbrow readership, was taken on a tour of Goroke in Mr Murnane’s car.
Mr Murnane told his interviewer how he composed his sentences.
“I tend to write it in the air with my eyes. So that I can see it written in the air as I’m speaking it,” he said.
Mr Murnane also revealed the filing cabinets that house detailed records of his life, that he has memorised thousands of racehorses and has never worn sunglasses.
The interview and excerpts can be found on The Paris Review’s website.
