Books for Review
the minnesota review welcomes proposals for reviews of recent books, as well as of journals, significant articles, publishers' catalogs or programs, book series, conferences, novels, poetry, films, television, advertising, and other venues of cultural and intellectual work. We much prefer overviews of a group of work, diagnoses of recent trends, or surveys of the work of a particular critic to reports on individual books. For examples, check out the review-essays in this and past issues. Here is a list of books we have received from publishers (bear in mind that they might already have been sent out to people by the time the issue is printed):
