More Flavor: Discussion Lewis Lapham

  • Lapham_large

San Francisco native Lewis Lapham served as an editor at Harper's magazine for 30 years before giving up his post in 2006. His taste for both primary sources and essays that tangentially related aspects of American arts and culture made the magazine stand out among its New Yorker and Atlantic Monthly brethren. Though the ever-fecund Lapham still contributes his acclaimed "Notebook" column to the magazine, he now primarily works on Lapham's Quarterly. This unusual publication consists of sundry archival documents — from a Thucydides passage to a writ of execution — and addresses current affairs by setting the story of the past in the frame of the present.
