NY Literary World Mourns Epstein’s Death

It was late Friday afternoon when the death of New York Review of Books editor Barbara Epstein (left, as photographed by Dominique Nabakov) was announced. Epstein had been editing the biweekly Review since she helped launch it during the newspaper strike of 1962 (a 33-and-some-year editorial legacy perhaps only matched by her NYRB colleague Robert Silvers), and was widely regarded, as Charles McGrath’s NYT obit quotes Janet Malcolm, as “one of the most influential editors of our time.”
