★☆☆☆☆
Predictable and lacks any diversity of opinion
The NYRB used to be my favourite journal. For years I loved it. Now it seems to have become simply a vehicle for the Progressive Left and its oh-so-familiar obsessions. Reading it is like being trapped with an opinionated bore. Its contents and its perspective from issue to issue are tiresomely predictable and it has become relentlessly shrill in its constant anti-Trump, pro-Left-Wing Democrat stance. It should rise above day-to-day politics and seek to illuminate the deeper, more profound currents of contemporary culture.
