(If you want to read extremely good long-form criticism, check out Cleveland Review of Books, the magazine I publish and work on with a “dedicated and brilliant” staff.)
I was more curatorial this time. But didn’t put forth any musings. Sorry. Busy month.
Also: could I get some feedback regarding something? Wanted to do a temp-check on whether or not people would be interested in, like, a weekly or bi-weekly “roundup” of “articles of interest?” Share, like 4 or 5 good articles that you can check out instead of stumbling onto stuff on twitter. If I were doing that this time, I’d share the Jay Caspian Kang article on losing, for example. This is a books newsletter but taste doesn’t have to be confined to los libros here. Shoot me an email at wlennon@clereviewofbooks.com
