GAMBIER, Ohio— This fall, Sourcebooks, Inc. published The Best of the Kenyon Review, the first in a series of three Kenyon Review anthologies. Since its release, the collection has received favorable reviews from Publisher's Weekly, The Wall Street Journal , Booklist, and other publications.

John Green wrote in Booklist, “This first book-length collection of pieces published in the Review showcases its remarkable consistency, longevity, and diversity. . . . Several recent pieces published during the tenure of current editor David Lynn by the likes of Ha Jin and Joyce Carol Oates show that the Review continues to be an important voice in American literature. An impressive collection.”

The trade paperback is a literary who’s-who, featuring the works of some of the greatest writers of our time, including current National Book Award winner Ruth Stone, as well as Marianne Moore, William Carlos Williams, W.H. Auden, James Wright, Sylvia Plath, E.L. Doctorow, Vladimir Nabokov, Robert Hass, Galway Kinnell, Rita Dove, Yusef Komunyakaa, Louise Erdrich, Muriel Rukeyser, Bertolt Brecht, Lionel Trilling, Flannery O’Connor, Thomas Pynchon and more.

Publisher's Weekly called the anthology "an excellent choice for readers of all stripes."

International in scope, the Review continues to publish award-winning, innovative work from emerging and established writers alike. In 2001, the magazine collaborated with Stockholm’s Nobel Museum to produce a landmark issue celebrating the centenary of the Nobel Prizes. This fall, the Review’s special “Culture and Place” issue landed in bookstores; the double issue features more than 300 pages of fiction, poetry, and essays by authors from across the globe. With the Winter 2004 issue, the Review will return to quarterly publication after publishing three times a year since 1995.

The Best of the Kenyon Review is available in bookstores throughout the United States, and can be ordered online through booksellers such as Amazon.
