Philip Gourevitch was named editor of the Paris Review in 2005, succeeding George Plimpton, who was editor from 1953 until his death in 2003.
Philip's most recent book, an account of Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison under the American occupation, is Standard Operating Procedure, a collaboration with the filmmaker Errol Morris. Gourevitch has written on a variety of subjects—from ethnic conflicts in Africa, Europe and Asia to political corruption in Rhode Island and the music of James Brown. He became widely known for his first book, We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will Be Killed With Our Families, which tells the story of the 1994 Rwandan Genocide.
