“If New York can still lay claim to a #literary community in the age of the internet, then #Bookforum was one of its central nodes, a place where upstarts and established names alike could meet on the page.” https://www.vulture.com/2022/12/bookforum-magazine-closing.html #writers #books

"Whereas other countries have publishing houses running literary magazines and a semblance of public funding for the arts, culture in the United States follows the dictates of capitalism, and small organizations must rely on one form of patronage or another."

A lovely elegy for #BookForum by Ann Kjellberg:
"in Bookforum a book could count on informed, focused, demanding attention... There was a sense of play, of sometimes gritty glamour, but also a jolt of intellectual rigor."

“For so many of us in the book world, [#Bookforum] represented a kind of critical apotheosis, positioned in the middle territory between service #journalism and the academy…I’m tired of losing outlets to conglomeration. I’m tired of #culture being under siege because of money, of corporations and the wealthy buying platforms and destroying them just because they can.” —David L.

CW: BookForum's new issue is its last
So apparently ArtForum got bought by a stupid billionaire's son's company and now BookForum is going away. Because if there's one thing billionaires' sons hate, it's books.
A major loss. There's really no other publication in the US like BookForum.
Ban billionaires!
