The large literary and political review of the New York intelligentsia. Created in 1963, it owes its reputation to the prestige and diversity of its major contributors: Joan Didion, V.S. Naipaul, Vladimir Nabokov, and Tony Judt, among others. In-depth, authentically critical, and very long articles are its trademark.
From the beginning, the greatest minds have responded to the challenge of a group of friends launching a journal in which the spirits of the time would be expressed. The austere yet stylish layout is enhanced by David Levine’s caricatures.
The online reflection of the review, the website sticks to the essentials. For each edition, only a few articles are available for free. However, readers can stay informed about the latest literary releases, browse a gallery of caricatures, and benefit from links to other journals. The archives, mostly paid, are free for electronic edition subscribers. Updated daily, the journal’s highly popular blog has helped expand its readership on the internet.
