A nice literature review magazine?

GERGE · 06-25-2014, 03:16 AM

I used to live in Istanbul and could go and browse bookstores for hours for English books (you could find everything in Istanbul). But I am in capital city now, and not only bookstores are almost Turkish-exclusive, I also don't have time to browse the stores.

So, which literary review magazine do you recommend? It must have digital access.

I am following Kirkus Reviews for now.

Try Goodreads here https://www.goodreads.com/ . This isn't a magazine but rather a site devoted to reviewing and rating books.

My favorite so far is London Review of Books http://www.lrb.co.uk/
You have to subscribe for delivery of hard copy and then you get the digital access https://www.lrb.co.uk/activate

Haven't tried Paris Review, but I think it's also very good

It seems Paris Review is on iTunes, cool. But there is not that many reviews in it. 4-5 every season?

I might buy London Review if it is not UK-only contentwise. So, is it?

I think it would be best that you check latest LRB issue and archive as well to see if it suits your needs. They have some articles for free and you can also see the contents of each issue. I wouldn't call it UK only, but they do have more reviews on European literature (translated in English) and UK literature than some US centric magazines. Additionally, they don't focus on Amazon or NYT bestsellers that much. But it really does depend on what you are looking for.
