期刊介绍:
Since its inception in the 1950s, Critique has consistently identified the most notable novelists of our time. In the pages of Critique appeared the first authoritative discussions of Bellow and Malamud in the ''50s, Barth and Hawkes in the ''60s, Pynchon, Elkin, Vonnegut, and Coover in the ''70s; DeLillo, Atwood, Morrison, and García Márquez in the ''80s; Auster, Amy Tan, David Foster Wallace, and Nurrudin Farah in the ''90s; and Lorrie Moore and Mark Danielewski in the new century. Readers go to Critique for critical essays on new authors with emerging reputations, but the general focus of the journal is fiction after 1950 from any country. Critique is published five times a year.
