From Our Readers

Scholars talk so often about the need for a vibrant forum for intellectual debate on the future of the arts and humanities: Public Books  is it.
—Ian Baucom
Public Books  has the pulse of literary and intellectual culture. It also has a cool website.
—Louis Menand
It is a rare and precious thing to discover such a compelling space for the written word and the thinking reader.
—Judith Butler
Public Books  is witty, amazing, and brilliantly edited.
—Catharine Stimpson
Public Books  takes the ancient craft of book reviewing and gives it a long overdue makeover: bright, ruminative, and accessible.
—Peter Mandler
Public Books  opens up the space of online reviewing to new voices and forms. It reminds us that great cultural criticism does not require an army of agents, flacks, and insiders.
—Arjun Appadurai
