Features: The Best Comments on Books and Authors from The New York Times Book Review. The New York Times Book Review is the most popular literary journal in the United States. This book, arranged chronologically, excerpts reviews from 1896 to 1997, guiding readers on a cultural journey through the 20th century and sketching out the most unforgettable images of contemporary important writers and thinkers. When compiling a century of book reviews, we tried to show this change, but it must be emphasized here that this book is not a comprehensive history of 20th-century literature, nor is it a completely reliable indicator that reflects the fluctuations of taste or critical reputation, or the role of the literary market. Some good books and important works were not favored by the early Book Review, and the importance of some books may have been exaggerated. You must read it carefully.
