The Los Angeles Review of Books is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting and disseminating rigorous, incisive, and engaging writing on every aspect of literature, culture, and the arts. It was created in part as a response to the disappearance of the traditional newspaper book review supplement, and, with it, the art of lively, intelligent long-form writing on recent publications in every genre, ranging from fiction to politics. The Los Angeles Review of Books seeks to revive and reinvent the book review for the internet age, and remains committed to covering and representing today’s diverse literary and cultural landscape.
LARB publishes new reviews, essays, and interviews online every day, as well as a print journal, the LARB Quarterly Journal. We also publish a collection of wholly independent sister magazines, the LARB Channels and Affiliates, covering genres as diverse as sports, philosophy, plant thinking, and performance art.
