What will the New York Times Book Review look like under new editor Sam Tanenhaus? “It still feels like there’s an institutional history that I don’t want to necessarily disrupt. We’re responding to the cultural moment, which seems a contentious one, and trying to capture those diverse energies. We’re also trying to capture the breadth of the literary culture, the highs as well as the lows. We’re trying to do justice to commercial and mass-market books as well as the serious and rarefied works of literature that come out. We’re trying to have a balance, and trying to have a mix of voices—the established writers but also newer writers. We’re encouraging reviewers to speak in their own voice and trying to accommodate their sensibilities. We might run a very long review for one writer and also run some short punchy reviews of mass market books and mix the two together. The biggest changes will probably be in appearance and presentation, though.”
