Reviews
Frequently we examine new publications of interest to the editors and related to the mission of California Institute of Arts and Letters. The author or editor of the reviewed work is interviewed and the content of the interview is published online with the review. Our interests are wide ranging in the humanities and arts. We do not accept submissions, but from time to time we invite a reviewer to examine and comment on a book selected by the editors. We welcome the response of writers to our reviews and if we consider them appropriate we will publish ammendments or explanations with reviews. Our intention is to be informative and critical in a constructive way. We tend to review work we like or expect to view positively. This does not prevent us from commenting on what we believe is inappropriate or poorly executed.
