The Los Angeles Review of Books has quickly established itself as an
institution unlike anything else on the web or in print, and has become
a serious contributor to national conversations about literature,
politics, and the arts. The LARB Quarterly Journal is the signature
print edition of LARB, specifically curated for the bookstore /
independent bookseller marketplace, featuring all exclusive, previously
unpublished content including reviews, essays, original poetry and
fiction, artist profiles and interviews, and original art.
With a stable of regular and ongoing contributors, both eminent and
emerging, LARB covers all topics and genres in the literary and
cultural arts. The Quarterly Journal, like LARB's online magazine,
specializes in a looser and more eclectic approach than other journals:
grounded in literature but open to all varieties of cultural experience;
headquartered in Los Angeles, but home to writers and artists from all
over the world.
LARB's long-form reviews are making waves nationally and
internationally, while tapping into a vibrant West Coast arts scene that
has truly come of age. The Quarterly Journal curates provocative
criticism alongside new literary works, focusing on the ideas and topics
that matter most now, from poetry to politics, from architecture to
film, from science to comics. Independent and open to dialogue with its
readers, LARB is shaping the current literary cultural landscape.
Readers of the Quarterly Journal join a community of writers, critics,
journalists, artists, filmmakers, and scholars dedicated to promoting
the best that is thought and written, with an enduring commitment to the
intellectual rigor, the incisiveness, and the power of the written word.
