Literary Journalism: A Discussion - for NYRBophiles (like me)

On April 3, 2013 The New York Review of Books and the Cullman Center for Scholars & Writers at the New York Public Library presented a panel discussion celebrating the Review’s 50th anniversary. Five regular contributors discussed their careers, their experience writing for editors Robert Silvers and Barbara Epstein, and their predictions and hopes for the future of literary journalism. We are pleased to present the excerpts below from this program.

I love the style of writing and discussion that goes on through this medium. They don't just review a book, they give you a whole new insight into a subject or event, Scintillating and stimulating - often un-thought of - connections and bringing to light new information.

I try to encourage my students toward this kind of inspection and introspection.
