The Atlantic is a writers’ collective, and for 165 years we have been a magazine for anyone who loves reading and literature. Especially in a moment of tremendous global upheaval, we need books to understand ourselves and one another . . . to help promote the free and open exchange of ideas . . . and we need them because they put more beauty into the world.”
- Adrienne LaFrance, Executive Editor, The Atlantic
