Los Angeles Review of Books Los Angeles Review of Books Quarterly Journal: Art Issue: No 16, Fall 2017
The Los Angeles Review of Books launched as online-only magazine in April 2011 to revive the great American tradition of the long form literary and cultural arts review. Today, we've created a new institution for writers and readers, unlike anything else on the web. The LARB Quarterly Journal is our flagship print edition of the magazine, reflecting the best that this institution has to bring to readers all over the world.We've cultivated a stable of regular contributors, both eminent (Jane Smiley, Mike Davis, Jonathan Lethem) and emerging (Jenny Hendrix, Colin Dickey, Rachel Kaadzi Ghansah). We’ve found our way to a certain tone that readers expect and enjoy: looser and more eclectic than other journals, grounded in literature but open to all varieties of cultural experience, far from the New York publishing hothouse atmosphere but not myopically focused on L.A. either.The LARB Quarterly Journal builds on the best aspects of our flagship online magazine. The long form literary and cultural arts review is alive and well, and now, has a new home in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles Review of Books Los Angeles Review of Books Quarterly Journal: Genius Issue: No. 18, Spring 2018
The spring issue of the LA Review of Books Journal is dedicated to the concept of Genius — how do we know what it is? How do we define it? How do we understand it and what role does it play in our culture? We have asked writers, scholars, critics, and artists to weigh in on the complicated concept. This issue is meant to challenge the idea of Genius — who after all, decides what genius is? — but also engage with it and try to unravel its complexities. We have grants that carry the title; we have people widely acknowledged as geniuses; we have organizations that can bestow that term to its members, and yet it’s still a mysterious, impenetrable concept, that we both suspect and revere. The issue is looking to tackle that straight on, while also including work by the writers and artists we consider worthy of the name, in all of its variations. The issue will also include a series of definitions of “Genius”, formatted like the dictionary, where artists, playwrights, poets and critics try to define the slippery term and tell us what the word means to them.
