The ‘New York Times Book Review’ Mixes It Up

When Pamela Paul stepped down as editor of the New York Times Book Review in April 2022, the news came as a shock to many of her colleagues. Paul had joined the Book Review , the paper’s standalone Sunday book reviews section, in 2011, and served as its editor since 2013. In 2016, Dean Baquet, who was then executive editor of the Times , decided to bring all of the paper’s books coverage—the daily Books section, book news, publishing industry news, and the Book Review —under Paul’s aegis.

“Everyone was surprised,” said Tina Jordan, deputy editor of the Book Review , of Paul’s departure. “She’d been there almost 10 years. We weren’t expecting it.” (Soon after leaving, Paul joined the paper’s Opinion section as a columnist, where she has developed a bit of a reputation in media circles for her subject matter and style.) While the search for Paul’s successor was underway, Jordan took over on an interim basis.

In July 2022, Gilbert Cruz was named to succeed Paul, having previously served, since 2018, as the culture editor at the paper. Like Paul before him, Cruz oversees all books coverage at the Times . He started the job in August, when the book publishing industry is notoriously quiet, but nevertheless immediately set to work. The transition in leadership, Jordan said, was “pretty seamless.”

First on Cruz’s to-do list was to solidify the Book Review as the face of all of the paper’s books coverage. Overseeing a team of more than 20 editors, critics, and reporters, he has spent the past year “making sure the staff feels like a whole”—that is, a single unit united under one banner. “Something I’ve been telling the entire staff is that there’s one brand here, and it’s the New York Times Book Review ,” he explained. “Everyone on this desk works for the New York Times Book Review —even if you’re a reporter, and your stuff never appears in the Book Review because it closes 10 days before it hit stands, you still work for the Book Review . Because when most people think of our books coverage, the Book Review is the thing that stands out in their mind.”

The Book Review is the nation’s largest and most storied standalone newspaper book reviews section, having been in print since 1896—and it’s one of the few remaining. At a time when books coverage has been slashed at papers around the country and reviewers on Goodreads and BookTok hold increasing sway over sales, what role the Book Review plays in today’s publishing ecosystem is something of an existential question.

One way to retool the Book Review for the current age, Cruz said, is to grow its digital readership. “That’s really what I came here to do,” he added. For him, this means doubling down on digital efforts and launching new digital franchises, as well as “trying to think about audiences that we’re not reaching right now.”

Under Cruz, the Book Review is also streamlining its coverage. It no longer runs “double-reviews” (two reviews by different critics of a single book), which Cruz felt “sends a mixed message to the reader.” It has also begun running reviews by the paper’s staff book critics—Dwight Garner, Alexandra Jacobs, Jennifer Szalai, and Molly Young, who had traditionally only appeared in the daily paper, which Cruz saw as a missed opportunity. (“We have this amazing product that is more than 100 years old, and our main voices on books never appeared in there!”)

Moreover, the Book Review has started publishing different kinds of features, such as author profiles and a new “Read Your Way Around the World” series, which is spearheaded by deputy news and features editor Juliana Barbassa. Barbassa has also led much of the Times ’ coverage of industry news, including the proliferation of book bans and AI’s impact on publishing.

Though the Book Review covered an estimated 2,300 books last year, its print editions have noticeably slimmed down in recent years. While occasional special issues—its summer reading and holiday issues, for instance—remain robust, Cruz doubts it will ever return to the larger page counts of yore.

“I can’t tell the future,” he said, “but I would challenge anyone to show me a print publication that has gotten bigger” over time. Nevertheless, he hopes that during his tenure, “people who primarily experience the Book Review through the print product get their money’s worth.”

In describing his vision for books coverage at the Times , Cruz repeatedly used the word experiment . He spoke of testing new things, keeping what works and scrapping what doesn’t. He believes that over the course of many experiments that “the Book Review is going to become more of a book publication.” One of his primary goals, in this first year at the helm, “is to try a lot of stuff.” His other goal: “not to mess this up.”

Rachel Poser Is Joining The Times as Sunday Review Editor

Rachel Poser, the deputy editor of Harper’s Magazine, is joining The Times as Sunday Review editor on July 12. Read more in this note from Meeta Agrawal.

I’m excited to announce that Rachel Poser will be our new Sunday Review editor.

The Sunday Review has long been the home of some of Times Opinion’s most ambitious journalism. Rachel will bring her sharp editorial instincts to the section, working closely with the design team to breathe new life into our Sunday section. She will commission and edit long-form pieces and curate the section, drawing from and working alongside the story editors, all with an eye to producing the weekly destination for ideas journalism.

Before coming to the Times, Rachel was the deputy editor of Harper’s Magazine, where she edited reported features, investigations, essays and memoirs. She has been responsible for some of the most-read and celebrated stories in the magazine’s recent history. Over the past year, she has edited a feature about five days in a TikTok collab house , essays about the roles of art and history in our politics, and an unnerving report about the psychological risks of meditation , among many others. Rachel’s own writing has appeared in Harper’s, Mother Jones, The New York Times Book Review and elsewhere. Her profile of classicist Dan-el Padilla Peralta for The New York Times Magazine made waves well beyond the walls of academia.

As we were getting to know Rachel, a former colleague shared, “she is one of the sharpest editors I’ve ever worked with; I remember one issue where she absolutely saved an almost irredeemable draft, and is equally comfortable wielding a red pen on big names and no names.”

Rachel is a Brooklyn native. She holds degrees from Princeton, Oxford and Harvard.

Rachel will start with us on July 12. Please join me in welcoming her to the team.

Book Review

The Mighty Red: A Novel

By Louise Erdrich Harper: 384 pages, $32 If you buy books linked on our site, The Times may earn a commission from Bookshop.org , whose fees support independent bookstores.

In “The Mighty Red,” Louise Erdrich’s enthralling ode and elegy to the people of North Dakota’s Red River Valley, climate change, Big Ag and economic hard times have ravaged the landscape in and around the small town of Tabor during the late aughts. Many of its inhabitants are descendants of the Ojibwe, Dakota and Métis tribes, whose acreage was lost to them in a series of cession treaties over the centuries; they now scramble to make a living, toiling for others on land that was once theirs.

This backdrop could make for a mournful tale of intergenerational trauma and displacement, but Erdrich has other plans for her characters, whom she imbues with the grit and optimism to rise above their challenging circumstances.

Crystal Frechette, for one, works the 12-hour night shift, hauling beets from the Geist farm to a sugar processing plant. It’s backbreaking labor, and sometimes her mind veers dark, until she reminds herself to “Tune your thoughts to a better station.” Crystal devises ingenious ways to stretch her family’s limited budget: She is the breadwinner, as her partner, Martin, has a taste for items like Italian silk ties but earns next to nothing as a traveling theater arts teacher. She’s an expert thrifter and gardener. Rumor has it that her family eats weeds because they’re poor, but to Crystal, one particular “weed,” lambsquarters, is a delicacy: “If only they knew. She clipped the youngest plants, pulled off the leaves. Then she went inside and sauteed them in her most extravagant household purchase — extra-virgin olive oil.”

A tale of fashion, misogyny and the brutality of capitalism

In Lilliam Rivera’s novel ‘Tiny Threads,’ the city of Vernon on Los Angeles’ periphery is as much a player as its human — and ghostly — characters.

Sept. 18, 2024

Crystal named her daughter Kismet “to attract luck and lightness of heart.” Though most of Tabor’s residents are decidedly earthbound, Crystal and Kismet believe in mystical phenomena such as prophecies and omens. And Crystal has a premonition that misfortune is around the corner.

Kismet is a high school senior — intelligent and suddenly popular now that she’s dating Gary Geist, quarterback of the football team. Like her mother, she’s resourceful and no-nonsense, bent on escaping Tabor for college. Despite Kismet’s restlessness and her growing attraction to a bookish friend, she impulsively agrees to marry Gary, who has been haunted after the gruesome deaths of two teammates in a snowmobiling accident. It’s only when he’s with Kismet that the specter never appears. The pair persuade each other they’re in love.

A narrator brings us along as she makes meaning from a traumatic childhood

The debut novel ‘Us Fools’ from Nora Lange investigates how a young woman puts together her own life, aware of her disadvantages and yearning for change.

Sept. 11, 2024

But calamity continues: Kismet’s father absconds under suspicious circumstances, prompting the FBI to swoop in. Most of the townspeople then shun Crystal, suspecting she may be in cahoots with Martin. Crystal, though, is mystified by his disappearance, and enraged when she learns that their already precarious financial picture may be verging on disaster.

It’s 2008, and local businesses are closing, houses are being foreclosed upon, cars are being repossessed. In interviews, Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winner Erdrich has said: “I don’t think about politics when I write. … My novels aren’t op-eds.” But for at least one of this novel’s characters, the faltering economy can be traced back to the budget director under President Reagan, who Erdrich writes “decided to suddenly accelerate, or call in, loans that farmers had previously had decades to repay.”

Richard Powers’ latest epic: Fragile oceans, fraught tech and exhilarating writing. At first

‘Playground’ is an intricately braided novel of overlapping love stories and unresolved polarities that doesn’t always come to three-dimensional life.

Sept. 16, 2024

Winnie Geist, Gary’s mother, knows well the “secret shame of losing all you love.” Her family’s land and home were foreclosed upon, and then taken over by her future husband’s family. Since their marriage, “she had pretended to be a Geist, to live at a level of prosperity that she didn’t believe would last.” But since the snowmobile accident, “some part of her had plunged down that pasture that once belonged to her farm” and “into the river with those boys.”

Erdrich is at her best — as she is here — when she draws on her deep connection with the Great Plains and its Indigenous people. She herself is a member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa, and themes of American Indian deprivation and injustice often fuel her storytelling. So do the zest and fortitude of her characters.

It’s also true that in Erdrich’s literary universe, there are few who are beyond redemption. If the villains of “The Mighty Red” are greedy landowners who are poisoning the environment with their herbicides and pesticides, the author doesn’t see them that way. By the end of the novel, Gary is plotting to persuade his dad that a shift to scalable organics is viable and necessary, and we sense that the father’s good nature will lead him that way.

There is an amiable, inviting quality to all of Erdrich’s 19 novels that in part explains how it is possible to be hugely entertained while learning why farmers require increasingly powerful pesticides or what our collective sweet tooth is costing the planet. That accessibility, though, in no way diminishes Erdrich’s unparalleled ability to conjure a scene or a character, or to portray the natural world with awe.

At a friend’s barbecue, Kismet is captivated by the interplay of birds and insects in the prairie field adjoining their backyard: “The sun was low and the light was a golden barge floating through the trees. … As the heat rose off the earth insects rose too, and the black arcs of birds began to feed with such swiftness and intensity that Kismet’s eyes could scarcely follow. … By the time the air cooled and the swallows began to swoop away to their nests, she felt wobbly and strange, as though she too had been flying.”

Erdrich calls on us to heal our frayed bond with the earth, and to regard it, as she does, with wonder.
