History and description [edit]

Early years [edit]

The New York Review was founded by Robert B. Silvers and Barbara Epstein, together with publisher A. Whitney Ellsworth[5] and writer Elizabeth Hardwick. They were backed and encouraged past Epstein's hubby, Jason Epstein, a vice president at Random Firm and editor of Vintage Books, and Hardwick's husband, poet Robert Lowell. In 1959 Hardwick had published an essay, "The Decline of Book Reviewing", in Harper'due south,[6] where Silvers was then an editor, in a special result that he edited called "Writing in America".[7] [8] Her essay was an indictment of American book reviews of the time, "low-cal, little commodity[s]" that she decried as "lobotomized", passionless praise and denounced as "blandly, respectfully denying any vivacious interest there might be in books or in literary matters generally."[ix] The grouping was inspired to found a new magazine to publish thoughtful, probing, lively reviews[ten] featuring what Hardwick called "the unusual, the difficult, the lengthy, the intransigent, and above all, the interesting".[6] [11]

During the 1962–63 New York Urban center newspaper strike, when The New York Times and several other newspapers suspended publication, Hardwick, Lowell and the Epsteins seized the run a risk to establish the sort of vigorous volume review that Hardwick had imagined.[12] Jason Epstein knew that volume publishers would advertise their books in the new publication, since they had no other outlet for promoting new books.[thirteen] The group turned to the Epsteins' friend Silvers, who had been an editor at The Paris Review and was still at Harper's,[xiv] to edit the publication, and Silvers asked Barbara Epstein to co-edit with him.[8] [12] She was known equally the editor at Doubleday of Anne Frank'south Diary of a Immature Daughter, among other books, and then worked at Dutton, McGraw-Loma and The Partisan Review.[15] Silvers and Epstein sent books to "the writers we knew and admired near. ... We asked for three thousand words in three weeks in society to show what a book review should exist, and practically anybody came through. No ane mentioned coin."[viii] The outset consequence of the Review was published on February 1, 1963 and sold out its printing of 100,000 copies.[3] It prompted nearly i,000 messages to the editors asking for the Review to go along.[eight] The New Yorker called it "surely the all-time first issue of whatever magazine ever."[16]

Salon later commented that the list of contributors in the first effect "represented a 'stupor and awe' demonstration of the intellectual firepower available for deployment in mid-century America, and, almost equally impressive, of the art of editorial networking and jawboning. This was the party anybody who was anyone wanted to attend, the Black and White Brawl of the critical elite."[17] The Review "appear the arrival of a particular sensibility ... the engaged, literary, post-state of war progressive intellectual, who was concerned with ceremonious rights and feminism too as fiction and poetry and theater.[xviii] The outset issue projected "a confidence in the unquestioned rightness of the liberal consensus, in the centrality of literature and its power to convey meaning, in the solubility of our problems through the awarding of intelligence and good will, and in the coherence and clear hierarchy of the intellectual globe".[17] After the success of the first result, the editors assembled a second issue to demonstrate that "the Review was not a i-shot affair".[8] The founders then collected investments from a circle of friends and acquaintances, and Ellsworth joined every bit publisher.[8] [19] The Review began regular biweekly publication in November 1963.[twenty]

The New York Review does not pretend to cover all the books of the flavour or even all the important ones. Neither time nor space, nonetheless, accept been spent on books which are trivial in their intentions or venal in their effects, except occasionally to reduce a temporarily inflated reputation or to call attending to a fraud. ... The hope of the editors is to suggest, all the same imperfectly, some of the qualities which a responsible literary journal should take and to discover whether in that location is, in America, not only the need for such a review but the demand for 1.

From the just editorial e'er published in the Review [21]

Silvers said of the editors' philosophy, that "there was no subject area we couldn't bargain with. And if there was no book [on a subject], we would deal with information technology anyhow. Nosotros tried difficult to avoid books that were merely competent rehearsals of familiar subjects, and we hoped to find books that would establish something fresh, something original."[eight] In item, "We felt you had to have a political analysis of the nature of power in America – who had it, who was affected". The editors besides shared an "intense admiration for wonderful writers".[22] But, Silvers noted, it is a mystery whether "reviews have a calculable political and social impact" or will even proceeds attention: "You mustn't remember too much about influence – if you lot observe something interesting yourself, that should be plenty."[8] Well-known writers were willing to contribute manufactures for the initial issues of the Review without pay because it offered them a chance to write a new kind of volume review. As Mark Gevisser explained: "The essays ... made the volume review class not only a report on the volume and a judgment of the book, merely an essay in itself. And that, I remember, startled anybody – that a book review could be exciting in that style, could exist provocative in that manner."[vii] Early issues included manufactures by such writers as Hardwick, Lowell, Jason Epstein, Hannah Arendt, W. H. Auden, Saul Bellow, John Berryman, Truman Capote, Paul Goodman,[23] Lillian Hellman, Irving Howe, Alfred Kazin, Anthony Lewis, Dwight Macdonald, Norman Mailer, Mary McCarthy, Norman Podhoretz, Philip Rahv, Adrienne Rich, Susan Sontag, William Styron, Gore Vidal, Robert Penn Warren and Edmund Wilson. The Review pointedly published interviews with European political dissidents, including Alexander Solzhenitsyn, Andrei Sakharov and Václav Havel.[22] [18]

Since 1979 [edit]

During the year-long lockout at The Times in London in 1979, the Review founded a girl publication, the London Review of Books. For the commencement six months this journal appeared as an insert in the New York Review of Books, merely it became an independent publication in 1980.[24] [25] In 1990 the Review founded an Italian edition, la Rivista dei Libri. Information technology was published for two decades until May 2010.[26]

For over forty years, Silvers and Epstein edited the Review together.[3] In 1984, Silvers, Epstein and their partners sold the Review to publisher Rea Southward. Hederman,[27] who still owns the paper,[28] merely the two continued as its editors.[14] In 2006, Epstein died of cancer at the age of 77.[29] In awarding to Epstein and Silvers its 2006 Literarian Honor for Outstanding Service to the American Literary Community, the National Book Foundation stated: "With The New York Review of Books, Robert Silvers and Barbara Epstein raised volume reviewing to an art and made the discussion of books a lively, provocative and intellectual activity."[thirty]

After Epstein's death, Silvers was the sole editor until his own decease in 2017.[31] Asked about who might succeed him as editor, Silvers told The New York Times, "I tin think of several people who would be marvelous editors. Some of them work here, some used to work here, and some are just people nosotros know. I think they would put out a terrific newspaper, but information technology would be dissimilar."[32] In 2008, the Review celebrated its 45th anniversary with a console discussion at the New York Public Library, moderated past Silvers, discussing "What Happens Now" in the United States after the 2008 election of Barack Obama as president. Panelists included Review contributors such every bit Didion, Wills, novelist and literary critic Darryl Pinckney, political commentator Michael Tomasky, and Columbia University professor and contributor Andrew Delbanco.[33] The 45th anniversary edition of the Review (November 20, 2008) began with a posthumous piece by Edmund Wilson, who wrote for the paper's beginning issue in 1963.[22]

In 2008, the paper moved its headquarters from Midtown Manhattan to 435 Hudson Street located in the West Village.[34] In 2010, information technology launched a blog section of its website[35] that The New York Times called "lively and opinionated",[32] and information technology hosts podcasts.[36] [37] Asked in 2013 how social media might affect the subject matter of the Review, Silvers commented:

"I might imagine [a] witty, aphoristic, almost Oscar Wildean [anthology of] remarks, fatigued from the millions and millions of tweets. Or from comments that follow on blogs. ... Facebook is a medium in which privacy is, or at to the lowest degree is thought to be, in some mode crucial. ... And and so there seems a resistance to intrusive criticism. We seem at the border of a vast, expanding ocean of words ... growing without any critical perspective whatever being brought to bear upon it. To me, as an editor, that seems an enormous absence."[38]

The Review began a year-long commemoration of its 50th ceremony with a presentation by Silvers and several contributors at The Town Hall in New York Metropolis in February 2013.[39] [40] Other events included a program at the New York Public Library in April, chosen "Literary Journalism: A Discussion", focusing on the editorial process at the Review [41] [42] and a reception in Nov at the Frick Collection.[43] [44] During the year, Martin Scorsese filmed a documentary about the history and influence of the Review, and the debates that information technology has spawned, titled The fifty Year Statement, which premiered in June 2014 at the Sheffield Doc/Fest in England.[45] [46] Information technology was later on seen at various film festivals, on BBC telly and on HBO in the US.[8] Asked how he maintained his "level of meticulousness and determination" afterward 50 years, Silvers said that the Review "was and is a unique opportunity ... to practise what one wants on anything in the earth. Now, that is given to hardly whatsoever editor, anywhere, anytime. There are no strictures, no limits. Nobody saying you can't practise something. No subject, no theme, no thought that can't be addressed in-depth. ... Whatever work is involved is minor compared to the opportunity."[38] A special 50th anniversary issue was dated Nov 7, 2013. Silvers said:

An independent, critical phonation on politics, literature, scientific discipline, and the arts seems every bit much needed today as information technology was when Barbara Epstein and I put out the first edition of the New York Review fifty years ago – peradventure even more than and so. Electronic forms of communication grow rapidly in every field of life but many of their effects on civilisation remain obscure and in need of new kinds of critical scrutiny. That will be a central business organisation of the Review for the years to come up.[20]

Ian Buruma, who had been a regular contributor to the Review since 1985, became editor in September 2017.[47] He left the position in September 2018 later backfire over publishing an essay by Jian Ghomeshi, who has been accused by xx women of sexual assault, and defending the publication in an interview with Slate magazine.[48] [49] The Review stated that it did not follow its "usual editorial practices", every bit the essay "was shown to only ane male editor during the editing procedure", and that Buruma'southward statement to Slate about the staff of the Review "did not accurately represent their views".[l] Gabriel Winslow-Yost (formerly a senior editor at the Review) and Emily Greenhouse (formerly the managing editor of The New Yorker and before an editorial assistant at the Review) were named co-editors in Feb 2019; Daniel Mendelsohn, a longtime Review contributor, was named to the new position of "editor at big".[51] In February 2021, Greenhouse was fabricated editor of the Review, while Winslow-Yost became a senior editor.[52]

Clarification [edit]

The Review has been described as a "kind of magazine ... in which the virtually interesting and qualified minds of our time would discuss current books and issues in depth ... a literary and critical journal based on the assumption that the discussion of important books was itself an indispensable literary activeness."[53] [54] Each outcome includes a broad range of subject area thing, including "articles on art, science, politics and literature."[32] Early, the editors decided that the Review would "be interested in everything ... no discipline would exist excluded. Someone is writing a piece most Nascar racing for us; some other is working on Veronese."[11] The Review has focused, nonetheless, on political topics; as Silvers commented in 2004: "The pieces nosotros take published by such writers every bit Brian Urquhart, Thomas Powers, Mark Danner and Ronald Dworkin accept been reactions to a genuine crisis concerning American destructiveness, American relations with its allies, American protections of its traditions of liberties. ... The aura of patriotic defiance cultivated by the [Bush] Assistants, in a fearful atmosphere, had the effect of muffling dissent."[55] Silvers told The New York Times: "The great political bug of power and its abuses take e'er been natural questions for us."[32]

The Nation gave its view of the political focus of the New York Review of Books in 2004:

The Review took a vocal role in contesting the Vietnam War. ... Around 1970, a sturdy liberalism began to supplant left-wing radicalism at the paper. As Philip Nobile observed in ... 1974 ... the Review returned to its roots and became "a literary magazine on the British nineteenth-century model, which would mix politics and literature in a tough only gentlemanly fashion." ... The publication has always been erudite and authoritative – and considering of its analytical rigor and seriousness, frequently essential – but it hasn't e'er been lively, pungent and readable. ... Simply the ballot of George W. Bush-league, combined with the furies of 9/11, jolted the editors. Since 2001, the Review's temperature has risen and its political outlook has sharpened. ... Prominent [writers for] the Review ... charged into battle not only against the White Firm but against the lethargic printing corps and the "liberal hawk" intellectuals. ... In stark contrast to The New Yorker ... or The New York Times Magazine ..., the Review opposed the Iraq State of war in a voice that was remarkably consistent and unified.[56]

Over the years, the Review has featured reviews and articles by such international writers and intellectuals, in addition to those already noted, every bit Timothy Garton Ash, Margaret Atwood, Russell Baker, Saul Blare, Isaiah Berlin, Harold Bloom, Joseph Brodsky, Ian Buruma, Noam Chomsky, J. M. Coetzee, Frederick Crews, Ronald Dworkin, John Kenneth Galbraith, Masha Gessen, Nadine Gordimer, Stephen Jay Gould, Christopher Hitchens, Tim Judah, Murray Kempton, Paul Krugman, Richard Lewontin, Perry Link, Alison Lurie, Peter Medawar, Daniel Mendelsohn, Bill Moyers, Vladimir Nabokov, Ralph Nader, V. Due south. Naipaul, Peter K. Peterson, Samantha Power, Nathaniel Rich, Felix Rohatyn, Jean-Paul Sartre, John Searle, Zadie Smith, Timothy Snyder, George Soros, I. F. Rock, Desmond Tutu, John Updike, Derek Walcott, Steven Weinberg, Garry Wills and Tony Judt. According to the National Book Foundation: "From Mary McCarthy and Edmund Wilson to Gore Vidal and Joan Didion, The New York Review of Books has consistently employed the liveliest minds in America to retrieve nearly, write virtually, and fence books and the issues they raise."[xxx]

The Review also devotes space in most bug to poetry, and has featured the work of such poets equally Robert Lowell, John Berryman, Ted Hughes, John Ashbery, Richard Wilbur, Seamus Heaney, Octavio Paz, and Czeslaw Milosz.[57] For writers, the "depth [of the articles], and the quality of the people writing for it, has made a Review byline a r̩sum̩ definer. If 1 wishes to be thought of as a certain type of writer Рof heft, style and a sure gravitas Рa Review byline is pretty much the gold standard."[58] In editing a piece, Silvers said that he asked himself "if [the point in whatsoever judgement could] be clearer, while besides respecting the writer's voice and tone. You have to listen advisedly to the tone of the writer'due south prose and try to adapt to it, merely only upward to a signal. [No alter was fabricated without the writers' permission.] ... Writers deserve the last word nigh their prose."[38]

In addition to domestic matters, the Review covers problems of international concern.[59] In the 1980s, a British commentator noted: "In the 1960s [the Review] opposed American involvement in Vietnam; more recently information technology has taken a line mildly Keynesian in economics, pro-Israeli but Anti-Zionist, sceptical of Reagan'southward Latin-American policy".[60] The British newspaper The Independent has described the Review as "the only mainstream American publication to speak out consistently against the war in Iraq."[61] On Middle E coverage, Silvers said, "any serious criticism of Israeli policy will be seen past some as heresy, a form of betrayal. ... [Thousand]uch of what we've published has come from some of the nearly respected and brilliant Israeli writers ... Amos Elon, Avishai Margalit, David Grossman, David Shulman, among them. What emerges from them is a sense that occupying land and people year after twelvemonth tin can only pb to a sad and bad result."[38]

Caricaturist David Levine illustrated The New York Review of Books from 1963 to 2007, giving the paper a distinctive visual epitome.[34] Levine died in 2009.[62] John Updike, whom Levine drew many times, wrote: "As well offering the states the delight of recognition, his drawings comfort united states of america, in an exacerbated and potentially drastic age, with the sense of a watching presence, an eye informed by an intelligence that has not panicked, a comic art ready to encapsulate the latest apparitions of publicity also as those historical devils who haunt our unease."[63] Levine contributed more than 3,800 pen-and-ink caricatures of famous writers, artists and politicians for the publication.[63] [64] Silvers said: "David combined acute political commentary with a certain kind of joke near the person. He was immensely sensitive to the smallest details – people'south shoulders, their anxiety, their elbows. He was able to find character in these details."[65] The New York Times described Levine's illustrations as "macro-headed, somberly expressive, astringently probing and hardly e'er flattering caricatures of intellectuals and athletes, politicians and potentates" that were "replete with exaggeratedly bad haircuts, 5 o'clock shadows, sick-conceived mustaches and other training foibles ... to make the famous seem peculiar-looking in club to take them downwards a peg".[62] In later years, illustrators for the Review included James Ferguson of Financial Times.[66]

The Washington Post described the "lively literary disputes" conducted in the 'messages to the editor' column of the Review as "the closest thing the intellectual world has to bare-knuckle battle".[3] In addition to reviews, interviews and articles, the paper features extensive advertising from publishers promoting newly published books. It also includes a popular "personals" department that "share[southward] a cultivated writing style" with its manufactures.[36] [67] One alone heart, author Jane Juska, documented the 63 replies to her personal advertizement in the Review with a 2003 memoir, A Round-Heeled Adult female, that was adjusted equally a play.[68] [69] In The Washington Post, Matt Schudel called the personal ads "sometimes laughably highbrow" and recalled that they were "spoofed by Woody Allen in the movie Annie Hall".[seventy]

Several of the magazine's editorial assistants have become prominent in journalism, academia and literature, including Jean Strouse, Deborah Eisenberg, Marker Danner and A. O. Scott.[71] Some other former intern and a correspondent to the Review, author Claire Messud, said: "They're incredibly generous well-nigh taking the time to get through things. So much of [business organization today] is about people doing things chop-chop, with haste. I of the first things to go out the window is a type of graciousness. ... There's a whole sort of rhythm and tone of how they deal with people. I'm certain it was always rare. But it feels incredibly precious now."[58]

The Review has published, since 2009, the NYR Daily, which focuses on the news.[72]

Critical reaction [edit]

The Washington Post calls the Review "a periodical of ideas that has helped define intellectual soapbox in the English language-speaking world for the past four decades. ... By publishing long, thoughtful articles on politics, books and civilization, [the editors] defied trends toward glibness, superficiality and the cult of glory".[iii] The Chicago Tribune praised the paper every bit "i of the few venues in American life that takes ideas seriously. And it pays readers the ultimate compliment of bold that we do too."[73] Esquire termed it "the premier literary-intellectual magazine in the English language language."[3] Similarly, in a 2006 New York magazine feature, James Atlas stated: "It'due south an eclectic just impressive mix [of articles] that has fabricated The New York Review of Books the premier journal of the American intellectual aristocracy".[74] The Atlantic commented in 2011 that the Review is written with "a freshness of perspective", and "much of information technology shapes our about sophisticated public discourse."[75] In celebrating the 35th birthday of the Review in 1998, The New York Times commented, "The Northward.Y.R. gives off rogue intimations of being fun to put out. Information technology hasn't lost its sneaky nip of mischief".[76]

In 2008, Britain's The Guardian deemed the Review "scholarly without existence pedantic, scrupulous without existence dry".[77] The same newspaper wrote in 2004:

The ... issues of the Review to date provide a history of the cultural life of the e coast since 1963. It manages to be ... serious with a fierce autonomous edge. ... It is one of the terminal places in the English-speaking world that will publish long essays ... and perchance the very last to combine academic rigour – even the letters to the editor are footnoted – with keen clarity of linguistic communication.[14]

In New York magazine, in Feb 2011, Oliver Sacks stated that the Review is "one of the nifty institutions of intellectual life hither or anywhere."[78] In 2012, The New York Times described the Review as "elegant, well mannered, immensely learned, a lilliputian formal at times, obsessive about clarity and factual correctness and passionately interested in human rights and the way governments violate them."[32]

Throughout its history, the Review has been known generally as a left-liberal periodical, what Tom Wolfe called "the chief theoretical organ of Radical Chic".[4] A 1997 New York Times article, yet, accused the paper of having become "establishmentarian".[79] The newspaper has, possibly, had its most effective vocalization in wartime. According to a 2004 feature in The Nation,

Ane suspects they yearn for the 24-hour interval when they tin return to their normal publishing routine – that gentlemanly pastiche of philosophy, art, classical music, photography, High german and Russian history, East European politics, literary fiction – unencumbered past political duties of a confrontational or oppositional nature. That twenty-four hour period has not withal arrived. If and when it does, let it be said that the editors met the challenges of the mail-9/xi era in a way that nigh other leading American publications did non, and that The New York Review of Books ... was there when nosotros needed it most.[80]

Sometimes accused of insularity, the Review has been called "The New York Review of Each Other'southward Books".[81] Philip Nobile expressed a mordant criticism along these lines in his volume Intellectual Skywriting: Literary Politics and the New York Review of Books.[74] The Guardian characterized such accusations every bit "sour grapes".[14] Phillip Lopate commented, in 2017, that Silvers "regarded his contributors as worthy authors, and and so why punish them by neglecting their latest work?".[82] In 2008, the San Francisco Chronicle wrote, "the pages of the 45th anniversary issue, in fact, reveal the actuality of [the paper'due south] willfully panoramic view".[22]

The Washington Mail service chosen the 2013 50th Ceremony issue "gaudy with intellectual firepower. Four Nobel Laureates have bylines. Usa Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer muses on reading Proust. There's the transcript of a long-lost lecture past T. S. Eliot."[58] In 2014, Rachel Cooke wrote in The Observer of a recent effect: "The offering of such an embarrassment of riches is wholly amazing in a earth where print journalism increasingly operates in the most threadbare of circumstances".[11] America magazine echoed Zoë Heller'due south words about the Review: "I similar it because it educates me."[83] Lopate adds that the Review "was and is the standard bearer for American intellectual life: a unique repository of thoughtful soapbox, unrepentantly highbrow, in a civilisation increasingly given to dumbing down."[82] Timothy Noah of Politician called it "the land's best and nearly influential literary journal. ... It's hard to imagine that Hardwick ... would complain today that volume reviewing is too polite."[84]

Book-publishing arm [edit]

The book-publishing arm of the Review is New York Review Books. Established in 1999, it has several imprints: New York Review Books, NYRB Classics, The New York Review Children'due south Collection, New York Review Comics, NYRB Poets, NYRB Lit and the Calligrams. NYRB Collections publishes collections of articles from frequent Review contributors.[85] The Classics banner reissues books that have gone out of print in the United states, too equally translations of classic books. It has been chosen "a marvellous literary imprint ... that has put hundreds of wonderful books back on our shelves."[11]

Silvers Foundation is a charitable trust established in 2017 by a bequest of the late Robert Silvers, a founding editor of The New York Review of Books.[86] Its annual activities include the Silvers Grants for Work in Progress, given in support of long-form non-fiction projects inside the fields cultivated by Silvers as editor of the Review, and the Silvers-Dudley Prizes, awarded for notable achievements in journalism, criticism, and cultural commentary.[87]
