Brigid Hughes—founding editor of the literary journal A Public Space and its new book imprint APS Books—succeeded George Plimpton as the editor of The Paris Review following Plimpton’s death in 2004.

How and why she was fired by the Review and then expunged from its history has been reported by Allison Devers on Longreads.
