Bookforum, a literary criticism magazine that closed in December to great uproar in the literary world, will be back in print in August with a new publishing partner: The Nation.
Bookforum’s relaunch, announced on Thursday, marks a return to form, said Bhaskar Sunkara, president of The Nation, who initiated talks in the spring.
Bookforum will remain a quarterly print publication with the same branding and aesthetic, helmed by the staff at the time of its closure, he added.
“The economics of a relaunch seemed feasible, especially if it was supported by the infrastructure of an existing publication.”The Bookforum team said they are confident that The Nation is the right partner.
“Bhaskar himself has worked on a number of magazines, and The Nation has been around since 1865.”
