Places Of Interest

»BOOKFORUM

With five issues per year and sustained by daily posts that link to subjects covering visual art, political life, or literary subjects, book forum is certainly a place to visit with the morning coffee, at lunch break and later, in the afternoon, as a companion for the second coffee treat of the day.

Bookforum is unique in its coverage of the best and most interesting new titles drawn from a spectrum of independent and university publishers. Recent issues include Phillip Lopate, Irvine Welsh, James Ivory, and many others on the history of translating fiction into film; Studs Terkel and Terry Gross on the art of the literary interview; and Hazel Rowley on Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre’s travels in Amazonia.
