Dear Reader, |
Contributors to this week’s issue include Vladimir Nabokov, Mario Puzo, Neil Sheehan, Diane Johnson, James Baldwin and Roger Angell, among others. It includes reviews of worthwhile new titles including “Ulysses,” “Song of Solomon,” “O Pioneers!” and the latest book by Arthur Conan Doyle. |
Have I gotten lost in time? Maybe I have, slightly. And so will you after paging through this week’s special 125th anniversary issue, a keepsake edition that includes some of the most groundbreaking, surprising and absorbing literary coverage and criticism that has run in our pages since 1896. The entire issue is the brainchild of deputy editor Tina Jordan, who also edited a glorious companion book with dozens of additional archival gems, available forpreorder. |
If it’s more contemporary work you’re interested in, check out this week’s podcast, which features Farah Stockman, editorial board member of The New York Times, talking about her new book, “American Made: What Happens to People When Work Disappears.” And my colleague John Williams speaks to the Chilean writer Benjamín Labatut about his new book, “When We Cease to Understand the World.” |
Please stay in touch and let us know what you think — whether it’s about this newsletter, our reviews, our podcast, our literary calendar, our Instagram or what you’re reading. We read and ponder all of it. I even write back, albeit belatedly. You can email me at books@nytimes.com. |
