NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW MAGAZINE

With a worldwide circulation of over 145,000, 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 most interesting and qualified minds of our time would discuss current books and issues in depth. It began life as an independent editorial voice and it remains independent today.
