Published since 1991, the award-winning Literary Review of Canada (LRC) is the country’s leading forum for discussion and debate about books, culture, politics and ideas.
Guided by editor-in-chief Bronwyn Drainie, the LRC runs lively reviews of Canadian books – as well as the occasional international title of interest to our readers – and essays by some of the country’s most thought-provoking writers. Contributors include Peter C. Newman, John Ralston Saul, Tom Flanagan, Charlotte Gray, Erna Paris, Rawi Hage, Linda Hutcheon, Joan Barfoot, Ian Hacking, Andrew Coyne, Richard Lipsey, Lawrence Hill, Jennifer Welsh and Conrad Black.
The LRC is proud to publish original Canadian poetry and illustrations in every issue.
