Show Notes

On today’s Leonard Lopate At Large, Leonard has a conversation with Edwin Frank, founder of New York Review Books

Back In 1999, Edwin Frank founded New York Review Books to reintroduce out-of-print works—many in first translations from around the world—to the reading public. Since its inception, the series has won dozens of awards for its translations; the New York Times chose Magda Szabó’s The Door as one of the ten best books of 2015.

New York Review Books have met not just with critical plaudits but commercial success, which naturally leads the curious reader to wonder: Who is Edwin Frank, anyway?” – Susannah Hunnewell, The Paris Review
