Stimulating, thought-provoking essays on literature and society that puts the books reviewed firmly in the context of their times while analysing and illuminating contemporary issues.
Always interesting, often surprising. The LRB is a beacon of rationality and reinforces the importance of actually knowing what you are talking or writing about.
I live in the country far from urban and academic accesses.
LRB contributes enormously to my sense of being informed,
engaged , and part of the world that literary magazines so
delightfully serve....
