Yeah.

I think of the New York Review really as a writer's magazine.

I mean, it's a, it's a forum again that I am the steward of, uh, or where I try to marshal different writers, um, and thinkers that I and my colleagues hugely admire.

Uh, and I feel that we, we do sort of clash with our writers about what references our-- the imagined reader will know.

Um, in the issue that we published yesterday, I worked for months with, um, an Israeli historian, a scholar of genocide named Omer Bartov, uh, on a piece...

On a, uh, he's reviewing a book by, uh, Joachim Halbeck about the Eastern Front and Nazi Germany's understanding, um, or Nazi Germany's obsession with Judeo-Bolshevism and why that is misapprehended in the West.

Um, Bartov is the greatest scholar of genocide, I would say, to my understanding, in the United States, and his level-- the depth of his prowess is extraordinary.
