jesus, this adam morgan fellow seems pretty upset about a lgbtq person being given a platform speak their truth. i'm disappointed a supposedly progressive-minded publication like the guardian would associate their name with this sort of bigotry
I don’t know why Chicago Review of Books chose a name so similar to ours when they launched a year ago, more than two years after Chicago Book Review began publishing,
haha that is shady
we only review books that have some kind of direct connection to Chicago and/or the Midwest
what the fuck
We here at Chicago Book Review have been on an unintended hiatus since July due to an accident suffered by the publisher and founder of CBR
what the fuck is going on with literary magazines. people really dont give a fuck about reading anymore. this is why we have to keep reading all that stupid shit The New Yorker publishes
So I made a decision that has nothing to do with political ideology and everything to do with human rights and decency: the Chicago Review of Books will not cover a single Simon & Schuster book in 2017.
Such virtue, many signals, wow.
Funny how no one has grandstanded over Ann Coulter like this, when she's been doing that shtick for years.
While we do feature many Chicago-based stories, writers, and publications, the Chicago Review of Books is as untethered to city limits as the New York Review of Books and the Los Angeles Review of Books.
I'd never heard of them either but it's not a surprise the third city wanted a review too.

I know now I'll never have any flair again and I've come to terms with that.

Motion to de-mod /u/yiannopoulos_m if he doesn't show up for once.

I had never heard of this guy, like ever. Who does he think he is threatening?

well, he's an editor of a book review
are you a big reader?

Actually, it seems that this group, The Chicago Review of Books, is not in fact The Chicago Book review. Upon further review they both appear to be nobodies. In other words perfect candidates to write a CiF Guardian piece. So there you go.
