"These skilled essayists offer vivid descriptions that can
sometimes be hard to stomach--but if we don't see the cycles of
history play out from one decade to the next, we may be doomed to
repeat them." --Publishers Weekly "A journal of ideas that has
helped define intellectual discourse in the English-speaking world
for the past four decades." --The Washington Post "The Review was
created to fill a need in the country for a journal of ideas, a
mission that it has fulfilled since becoming a must-read to many
loyal readers." --The Los Angeles Times "With their connections in
the highest reaches of academia, arts and letters, they recruited a
glittering cast of intellectual all-stars to write for the
publication." --The Washington Post "Stubborn refusal to treat
books, or the theatre and movies, for that matter, as categories of
entertainment to be indulged in when the working day is done."
--The New York Times "The premier literary intellectual magazine in
the English language." --Esquire "A magazine that is smart and
provocative and topical but also accessible and deeply earnest. It
glides nimbly across history and politics and pop culture and art."
--Chicago Tribune "The editors met the challenges of the post-9/11
era in a way that most other leading American publications did
not...the Review was there when we needed it most." --The Nation
"The leading intellectual forum in the United States." --New York
magazine "[The Review] remains a home for engaging and longer-form
literary and political essays by an A-list of the smartest folks
around." --Chicago Tribune "[The New York Review of Books] has the
largest claim to be regarded as the indispensable publication of
the modern English-speaking world." --The Guardian "One of the most
influential and admired journals of its kind, attracting a
high-powered roster of writers." --The New York Times
