About The Metropolitan Review

We are a books and culture magazine founded by Ross Barkan, Lou Bahet, and David Roberts. We publish reviews of recent books, film, television, and the visual arts, as well as new fiction, poetry, and interviews. Our pages are home to serious, entertaining criticism that doesn’t pull any punches. In a tech-addled, philistine-friendly world, we seek to reinvigorate high culture, and we believe we will.

Our articles regularly appear on our website at metropolitanreview. com.
