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 by Epstein'southward husband, Jason Epstein, a vice president at Random House and editor of Vintage Books, and Hardwick'south hubby, poet Robert Lowell. In 1959 Hardwick had published an essay, "The Refuse of Book Reviewing", in Harper'south,[6] where Silvers was then an editor, in a special issue that he edited called "Writing in America".[7] [8] Her essay was an indictment of American book reviews of the time, "light, trivial article[southward]" that she decried every bit "lobotomized", passionless praise and denounced as "blandly, respectfully denying whatever vivacious involvement there might be in books or in literary matters by and large."[9] The group was inspired to found a new magazine to publish thoughtful, probing, lively reviews[10] featuring what Hardwick called "the unusual, the difficult, the lengthy, the intransigent, and higher up all, the interesting".[half dozen] [11]

During the 1962–63 New York City newspaper strike, when The New York Times and several other newspapers suspended publication, Hardwick, Lowell and the Epsteins seized the chance to establish the sort of vigorous book review that Hardwick had imagined.[12] Jason Epstein knew that book publishers would advertise their books in the new publication, since they had no other outlet for promoting new books.[thirteen] The grouping turned to the Epsteins' friend Silvers, who had been an editor at The Paris Review and was withal at Harper'southward,[14] to edit the publication, and Silvers asked Barbara Epstein to co-edit with him.[8] [12] She was known every bit the editor at Doubleday of Anne Frank's Diary of a Young Girl, among other books, and and so worked at Dutton, McGraw-Hill and The Partisan Review.[15] Silvers and Epstein sent books to "the writers we knew and admired most. ... We asked for 3 one thousand words in three weeks in order to show what a volume review should be, and practically everyone came through. No i mentioned money."[8] The beginning issue of the Review was published on February 1, 1963, and sold out its printing of 100,000 copies.[3] It prompted nearly 1,000 letters to the editors request for the Review to continue.[eight] The New Yorker called information technology "surely the best first issue of any magazine ever."[16]

Salon later commented that the list of contributors in the first event "represented a 'stupor and awe' demonstration of the intellectual firepower bachelor for deployment in mid-century America, and, most equally impressive, of the fine art of editorial networking and jawboning. This was the party everyone who was anyone wanted to attend, the Black and White Brawl of the critical aristocracy."[17] The Review "announced the inflow of a particular sensibility ... the engaged, literary, postal service-war progressive intellectual, who was concerned with ceremonious rights and feminism every bit well every bit fiction and poetry and theater.[18] The first outcome 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 application of intelligence and good volition, and in the coherence and articulate hierarchy of the intellectual world".[17] Subsequently the success of the first issue, the editors assembled a second event to demonstrate that "the Review was not a 1-shot thing".[8] The founders so collected investments from a circle of friends and acquaintances, and Ellsworth joined as publisher.[8] [nineteen] The Review began regular biweekly publication in November 1963.[20]

The New York Review does not pretend to cover all the books of the season or even all the of import ones. Neither time nor space, however, have been spent on books which are piffling in their intentions or venal in their effects, except occasionally to reduce a temporarily inflated reputation or to call attention to a fraud. ... The hope of the editors is to suggest, however imperfectly, some of the qualities which a responsible literary journal should have and to detect whether there is, in America, non simply the need for such a review just the demand for ane.

From the but editorial ever published in the Review [21]

Silvers said of the editors' philosophy, that "there was no field of study we couldn't deal with. And if there was no book [on a subject], we would deal with it anyhow. We tried hard to avoid books that were simply competent rehearsals of familiar subjects, and we hoped to find books that would institute something fresh, something original."[8] In particular, "Nosotros felt you had to have a political analysis of the nature of ability in America – who had information technology, who was affected". The editors besides shared an "intense admiration for wonderful writers".[22] But, Silvers noted, information technology is a mystery whether "reviews accept a calculable political and social impact" or will fifty-fifty gain attention: "Yous mustn't think too much about influence – if you lot find something interesting yourself, that should be enough."[8] Well-known writers were willing to contribute articles for the initial issues of the Review without pay considering it offered them a run a risk to write a new kind of book review. As Marking Gevisser explained: "The essays ... made the book review form not merely a written report on the volume and a judgment of the book, but an essay in itself. And that, I think, startled everyone – that a book review could be exciting in that way, could be provocative in that manner."[7] Early issues included articles past such writers as Hardwick, Lowell, Jason Epstein, Hannah Arendt, Due west. 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 equally an insert in the New York Review of Books, but information technology became an independent publication in 1980.[24] [25] In 1990 the Review founded an Italian edition, la Rivista dei Libri. It was published for two decades until May 2010.[26]

For over twoscore 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] only 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 Award 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 fine art and made the give-and-take of books a lively, provocative and intellectual activity."[30]

Later Epstein's death, Silvers was the sole editor until his own death in 2017.[31] Asked about who might succeed him as editor, Silvers told The New York Times, "I can retrieve of several people who would exist marvelous editors. Some of them work here, some used to work hither, and some are just people we know. I call back they would put out a terrific newspaper, but it would be unlike."[32] In 2008, the Review celebrated its 45th ceremony with a panel discussion at the New York Public Library, moderated past Silvers, discussing "What Happens At present" in the United States after the 2008 election of Barack Obama every bit president. Panelists included Review contributors such as 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 past Edmund Wilson, who wrote for the paper's beginning effect in 1963.[22]

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

"I might imagine [a] witty, aphoristic, near Oscar Wildean [anthology of] remarks, drawn 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 idea to be, in some mode crucial. ... And then there seems a resistance to intrusive criticism. We seem at the edge of a vast, expanding ocean of words ... growing without any disquisitional perspective whatever being brought to bear on information technology. To me, every bit an editor, that seems an enormous absence."[38]

The Review began a year-long celebration of its 50th anniversary with a presentation past Silvers and several contributors at The Town Hall in New York City in Feb 2013.[39] [40] Other events included a plan 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 November at the Frick Collection.[43] [44] During the year, Martin Scorsese filmed a documentary nigh the history and influence of the Review, and the debates that it has spawned, titled The 50 Year Statement, which premiered in June 2014 at the Sheffield Doc/Fest in England.[45] [46] It was later seen at various movie festivals, on BBC television and on HBO in the US.[8] Asked how he maintained his "level of meticulousness and conclusion" afterward 50 years, Silvers said that the Review "was and is a unique opportunity ... to do what one wants on anything in the world. Now, that is given to hardly any editor, anywhere, anytime. There are no strictures, no limits. Nobody saying yous tin't do something. No subject, no theme, no idea that tin't be addressed in-depth. ... Any work is involved is minor compared to the opportunity."[38] A special 50th anniversary consequence was dated November seven, 2013. Silvers said:

An independent, critical vocalism on politics, literature, science, and the arts seems as much needed today as it was when Barbara Epstein and I put out the first edition of the New York Review fifty years ago – mayhap even more than so. Electronic forms of communication grow speedily in every field of life just many of their effects on civilisation remain obscure and in need of new kinds of disquisitional scrutiny. That volition exist a primal concern of the Review for the years to come.[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 after backlash over publishing an essay past Jian Ghomeshi, who has been defendant past xx women of sexual attack, and defending the publication in an interview with Slate mag.[48] [49] The Review stated that it did not follow its "usual editorial practices", equally the essay "was shown to only one male editor during the editing process", and that Buruma'south argument to Slate about the staff of the Review "did not accurately stand for their views".[50] Gabriel Winslow-Yost (formerly a senior editor at the Review) and Emily Greenhouse (formerly the managing editor of The New Yorker and earlier an editorial assistant at the Review) were named co-editors in February 2019; Daniel Mendelsohn, a longtime Review contributor, was named to the new position of "editor at large".[51] In February 2021, Greenhouse was made editor of the Review, while Winslow-Yost became a senior editor.[52]

Description [edit]

The Review has been described equally a "kind of magazine ... in which the well-nigh interesting and qualified minds of our time would discuss current books and problems in depth ... a literary and critical journal based on the supposition that the give-and-take of of import books was itself an indispensable literary action."[53] [54] Each issue includes a broad range of discipline matter, including "articles on art, science, politics and literature."[32] Early on, the editors decided that the Review would "be interested in everything ... no subject would be excluded. Someone is writing a piece about Nascar racing for us; some other is working on Veronese."[11] The Review has focused, however, on political topics; as Silvers commented in 2004: "The pieces we accept published by such writers equally Brian Urquhart, Thomas Powers, Marking 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 aureola of patriotic defiance cultivated past the [Bush] Administration, in a fearful atmosphere, had the event of muffling dissent."[55] Silvers told The New York Times: "The swell political issues of power and its abuses have 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 function in battling the Vietnam War. ... Effectually 1970, a sturdy liberalism began to supplant left-fly radicalism at the paper. Equally 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 just gentlemanly manner." ... The publication has e'er been erudite and administrative – and because of its analytical rigor and seriousness, oft essential – but it hasn't always been lively, pungent and readable. ... But the election of George W. Bush, 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 Republic of 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, equally Timothy Garton Ash, Margaret Atwood, Russell Bakery, 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, Five. S. Naipaul, Peter G. Peterson, Samantha Power, Nathaniel Rich, Felix Rohatyn, Jean-Paul Sartre, John Searle, Zadie Smith, Timothy Snyder, George Soros, I. F. Stone, Desmond Tutu, John Updike, Derek Walcott, Steven Weinberg, Garry Wills and Tony Judt. Co-ordinate 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 think about, write about, and debate books and the problems they raise."[xxx]

The Review as well devotes space in most bug to poetry, and has featured the piece of work of such poets as Robert Lowell, John Berryman, Ted Hughes, John Ashbery, Richard Wilbur, Seamus Heaney, Octavio Paz, and Czeslaw Milosz.[57] For writers, the "depth [of the manufactures], and the quality of the people writing for it, has fabricated a Review byline a résumé definer. If one wishes to be thought of as a certain blazon of writer – of heft, mode and a certain gravitas – a Review byline is pretty much the gold standard."[58] In editing a piece, Silvers said that he asked himself "if [the bespeak in any sentence could] exist clearer, while also respecting the author's voice and tone. You lot take to listen carefully to the tone of the writer's prose and endeavour to conform to it, but simply up to a point. [No modify was fabricated without the writers' permission.] ... Writers deserve the final word about their prose."[38]

In addition to domestic matters, the Review covers problems of international business organization.[59] In the 1980s, a British commentator noted: "In the 1960s [the Review] opposed American involvement in Vietnam; more than recently information technology has taken a line mildly Keynesian in economic science, pro-Israeli but Anti-Zionist, sceptical of Reagan's Latin-American policy".[60] The British newspaper The Contained has described the Review as "the but mainstream American publication to speak out consistently against the state of war in Republic of iraq."[61] On Centre East coverage, Silvers said, "any serious criticism of Israeli policy will be seen by some every bit heresy, a course of betrayal. ... [M]uch of what we've published has come up from some of the nearly respected and bright Israeli writers ... Amos Elon, Avishai Margalit, David Grossman, David Shulman, among them. What emerges from them is a sense that occupying land and people twelvemonth afterward year tin only atomic number 82 to a lamentable and bad consequence."[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: "Besides offer the states the please of recognition, his drawings comfort us, in an exacerbated and potentially desperate historic period, with the sense of a watching presence, an eye informed past an intelligence that has not panicked, a comic fine art ready to encapsulate the latest apparitions of publicity besides as those historical devils who haunt our unease."[63] Levine contributed more than three,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 about the person. He was immensely sensitive to the smallest details – people's shoulders, their feet, 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 always flattering caricatures of intellectuals and athletes, politicians and potentates" that were "replete with exaggeratedly bad haircuts, 5 o'clock shadows, ill-conceived mustaches and other preparation foibles ... to make the famous seem peculiar-looking in order to take them down a peg".[62] In later years, illustrators for the Review included James Ferguson of Financial Times.[66]

The Washington Postal service described the "lively literary disputes" conducted in the 'letters to the editor' column of the Review equally "the closest thing the intellectual world has to bare-knuckle boxing".[3] In addition to reviews, interviews and articles, the paper features extensive advertising from publishers promoting newly published books. Information technology also includes a pop "personals" section that "share[s] a cultivated writing style" with its manufactures.[36] [67] Ane lonely heart, author Jane Juska, documented the 63 replies to her personal ad in the Review with a 2003 memoir, A Round-Heeled Woman, 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".[70]

Several of the magazine'southward editorial assistants take get prominent in journalism, academia and literature, including Jean Strouse, Deborah Eisenberg, Marking Danner and A. O. Scott.[71] Another former intern and a contributor to the Review, author Claire Messud, said: "They're incredibly generous about taking the time to go through things. Then much of [business today] is near people doing things quickly, with haste. I of the offset things to get out the window is a type of graciousness. ... At that place'due south a whole sort of rhythm and tone of how they deal with people. I'grand certain information technology was ever 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 journal of ideas that has helped define intellectual discourse in the English-speaking world for the by four decades. ... By publishing long, thoughtful manufactures on politics, books and culture, [the editors] defied trends toward glibness, superficiality and the cult of glory".[3] The Chicago Tribune praised the paper as "i of the few venues in American life that takes ideas seriously. And it pays readers the ultimate compliment of assuming that we practice besides."[73] Esquire termed it "the premier literary-intellectual magazine in the English language."[3] Similarly, in a 2006 New York magazine feature, James Atlas stated: "It's an eclectic simply impressive mix [of articles] that has fabricated The New York Review of Books the premier journal of the American intellectual elite".[74] The Atlantic commented in 2011 that the Review is written with "a freshness of perspective", and "much of it shapes our most sophisticated public discourse."[75] In jubilant the 35th birthday of the Review in 1998, The New York Times commented, "The North.Y.R. gives off rogue intimations of beingness fun to put out. It hasn't lost its sneaky nip of mischief".[76]

In 2008, Britain's The Guardian accounted the Review "scholarly without being pedantic, scrupulous without being dry out".[77] The same paper wrote in 2004:

The ... problems of the Review to appointment provide a history of the cultural life of the eastward coast since 1963. Information technology manages to be ... serious with a trigger-happy democratic edge. ... Information technology is 1 of the last places in the English-speaking world that will publish long essays ... and possibly the very last to combine academic rigour – fifty-fifty the letters to the editor are footnoted – with slap-up clarity of linguistic communication.[14]

In New York magazine, in February 2011, Oliver Sacks stated that the Review is "one of the great institutions of intellectual life here or anywhere."[78] In 2012, The New York Times described the Review equally "elegant, well mannered, immensely learned, a little formal at times, obsessive almost clarity and factual definiteness and passionately interested in man rights and the style 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 Chichi".[four] A 1997 New York Times article, still, accused the paper of having get "establishmentarian".[79] The paper has, perhaps, had its nigh effective vox in wartime. According to a 2004 feature in The Nation,

One suspects they yearn for the twenty-four hour period when they tin return to their normal publishing routine – that gentlemanly pastiche of philosophy, art, classical music, photography, German and Russian history, East European politics, literary fiction – unencumbered past political duties of a confrontational or oppositional nature. That 24-hour interval has non yet arrived. If and when it does, let it be said that the editors met the challenges of the post-9/11 era in a way that most other leading American publications did not, and that The New York Review of Books ... was there when we needed it virtually.[80]

Sometimes accused of insularity, the Review has been called "The New York Review of Each Other's Books".[81] Philip Nobile expressed a mordant criticism along these lines in his book 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 so why punish them past neglecting their latest work?".[82] In 2008, the San Francisco Chronicle wrote, "the pages of the 45th anniversary event, in fact, reveal the actuality of [the paper's] willfully panoramic view".[22]

The Washington Postal service chosen the 2013 50th Anniversary consequence "gaudy with intellectual firepower. Iv Nobel Laureates accept bylines. US Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer muses on reading Proust. There'south the transcript of a long-lost lecture by T. S. Eliot."[58] In 2014, Rachel Cooke wrote in The Observer of a recent issue: "The offer of such an embarrassment of riches is wholly amazing in a earth where print journalism increasingly operates in the well-nigh threadbare of circumstances".[11] America magazine echoed Zoë Heller'south words nearly the Review: "I like it considering it educates me."[83] Lopate adds that the Review "was and is the standard bearer for American intellectual life: a unique repository of thoughtful discourse, unrepentantly highbrow, in a civilization increasingly given to dumbing down."[82] Timothy Noah of Politico called it "the land's best and almost influential literary journal. ... It's hard to imagine that Hardwick ... would complain today that book 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'southward 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 accept gone out of print in the U.s.a., as well every bit translations of classic books. It has been chosen "a marvellous literary imprint ... that has put hundreds of wonderful books dorsum on our shelves."[11]

Silvers Foundation is a charitable trust established in 2017 past a bequest of the tardily Robert Silvers, a founding editor of The New York Review of Books.[86] Its annual activities include the Silvers Grants for Piece of work in Progress, given in support of long-form not-fiction projects within the fields cultivated by Silvers equally editor of the Review, and the Silvers-Dudley Prizes, awarded for notable achievements in journalism, criticism, and cultural commentary.[87]
