Coverage
The LARB features reviews of new fiction, poetry, and nonfiction; original reviews of classic texts; essays on contemporary art, politics, and culture; and literary news from abroad, including Mexico City, London, and St. Petersburg. The site also proposes looking seriously at detective fiction, thrillers, comics, graphic novels, and other writing often dismissed as genre fiction, and printing reviews of books published by university presses. Of these plans, Lutz has said: “What’s considered worthy of study in the literary world has shifted radically over the past 50 years, and it reflects the natural evolution of academic thought, which is constantly raising questions about what matters.” == Contributors ==
