Description
This issue of Partisan Review, Volume LIV, Number 3 (1987), is a literary and cultural journal published at Boston University. The issue features articles, fiction, poetry, reviews, and advertisements. Notable articles include an interview with Primo Levi by Risa Sodi, 'The Velvet Prison' by Miklós Haraszti, 'Kishkas' by Leonard Michaels, and 'Kafka as Saint' by Elizabeth Dalton. The fiction section features 'Love and Politics in New York' by Leonard Kriegel, while the poetry section includes works by Richard Eberhart, David Lehman, Ingeborg Bachman, Philip Appleman, and others. The issue also contains advertisements for books, literary competitions, and related publications. The cover and masthead list editorial staff, contributing editors, consultants, and advisory board members. The visual layout is typical of late 20th-century American literary journals, with black-and-white text and minimal illustration, except for select advertisements. Sidney Hook is depicted in an advertisement for his memoir 'Out of Step.'
