From Our Readers

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
Public Books  has the pulse of literary and intellectual culture. It also has a cool website.
—Louis Menand
Public Books  has quickly made itself indispensable and international. The reviews are spirited, unpredictable, and opinionated in all the right ways.
—Rob Nixon
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
It is a rare and precious thing to discover such a compelling space for the written word and the thinking reader.
—Judith Butler
