Literature deserves better than corporate media |
As the super rich and corporations take over the media, the quiet work of reading closely, writing carefully, and taking literature seriously gets treated as a luxury the publishing industry can’t afford.
Bookforum is one of the few places that has refused that bargain.
Published in collaboration with The Nation, Bookforum is America’s premier quarterly of arts and criticism. Four issues a year — essays, reviews, and long-form criticism written by writers who actually care about the books they’re reading.
It is, in an era of accelerating cultural loss, something close to irreplaceable. |
