New Delhi Review of Books Live
The New Delhi Review of Books is a review in the older tradition of the critical essay, where a book is an occasion for thought rather than a subject for summary. It attends to politics, history, economics, literature, and culture, asking of each work what it means for India today. We publish four to six times a year.
