Bob Silvers, Co-Founder Of New York Review Of Books
During the New York newspaper strike of 1963, people missed reading the New York Times Book Review. A literary group of friends, including New York Review of Books founding editors Bob Silvers and Barbara Epstein, decided to start a book review of their own. With essays on politics, science, art, and books, the New York Review of Books has become an iconic literary institution.
