The LRB is my favorite reading material, being more diverse in both its subjects and writers than any other. It has managed to print important work in spite of controversies that intimidated better known journals. I’ve saved more of its stories, both for the content and the quality of the writing, and found that when other publications aged into annoyances, the LRB continues to hold my attention and to satisfy my insatiable curiosity about the only world I inhabit.
