The New York Review of Books; November 5, 2026
The New York Review of Books is a semi-monthly magazine with articles on literature, culture, economics, science and current affairs. Published in New York City, it is inspired by the idea that the discussion of important books is an indispensable literary activity.
In this issue:
- Making Light of a Dark Past: La Bola Negra sidesteps the vicious politics of the Spanish Civil War to tell a story about gay sexual freedom.
- The Plot to Delete Democracy In The Nerd Reich: Gil Durán shows how Silicon Valley billionaires have pushed a fringe ideology—what is popularly called techno-fascism but is closer in aspiration to straight-up totalitarianism—into the affairs of state.
- Rebel Rebel: George Sand’s scandalous life, including a decade-long affair with Chopin, has obscured the influence of her many novels.
- Unfinished Business: Claire-Louise Bennett’s novels have found a new language to evoke the often circular, abstracted nature of human consciousness.
- Burning Bright, for Now: The Amur tiger and the jaguar are among the most elusive big cats in the world. Biologists have spent years tracking them down to save them.
