History
The magazine originated in 1994 as a supplement to Artforum. Originally published biannually, the magazine became quarterly in 1998 and then in 2005 became published five times a year. Bookforum is composed largely of book reviews, which vary in length from pages to a paragraph; interviews with authors of fiction and nonfiction books; and essays and articles (many of which are tied to a recently published book). Its editor in chief was Eric Banks from 2003 to 2008. At the start of 2008 the magazine underwent editorial reorganisation[1] Albert Mobilio, the former fiction editor, is now a co-editor along with Chris Lehmann.
Recently the magazine’s website has undergone a major redesign, adding a new section that lists literary events natiowide, as well as web-only "Daily Reviews," and a section called "Syllabi," which consists of book lists submitted by authors and critics. [2]
