Many of you will know the legend of how the New York
Review of Books
was founded: there was a newspaper strike in New York
in 1963, and a bunch of scary smart friends decided
that if they couldn't read their Times Book Review,
they'd just have to start their own. And the New York
Review of Books became the most important intellectual
journal in the country.
I have no such hopes for The New Haven Review of
Books
which will have its debut at a publication party...
