CURRENT ISSUE

September 2025

With the September 2025 issue, World Literature Today goes all in for The Art of the Review, devoting the entire issue to answering the question: Does cultural critique matter in the age of the algorithm? From a variety of angles, nineteen writers examine the art of reviewing fiction, movies, poetry, children’s lit, and translations. The issue also includes some classic reviews plus an expanded book review section featuring nearly three dozen new reviews.
