The New York Review of Books
The New York Review of Books is a semi-monthly magazine with articles on literature, culture, economics, science, and current affairs.The New York Review’s early issues included articles by writers as W.H. Auden, Elizabeth Hardwick, Hannah Arendt, Edmund Wilson, Susan Sontag, Robert Penn Warren, Lilian Hellman, Norman Mailer, Gore Vidal, SaulBellow, Robert Lowell, Truman Capote, William Styron, and Mary McCarthy. The public responded by buying up practically all the copies printed and writing thousands of letters to demand that The New York Review continue publication. And Robert Silvers and Barbara Epstein continued as co-editors of the Review until Barbara’s death in 2006, and Robert Silvers continues as editor.With a worldwide circulation of over 135,000, The New York Review of Books has established itself, in Esquire‘s words, as “the premier literary-intellectual magazine in the English language.” The New York Review began during the New York publishing strike of 1963, when its founding editors, Robert Silvers and Barbara Epstein, and their friends, decided to create a new kind of magazine, one in which the interesting and qualified minds of its time would discuss current books and issues in depth. Just as importantly, it was determined that the Review should be an independent publication, and it began life as an independent editorial voice and it remains independent today.The New York Review of Books was founded in 1963 and is headquartered in New York.
