Autorenporträt
JOHN FISCHER (1910-1978) was a lifelong writer and editor. His work appeared in Life, The New Yorker, Readers Digest, among other publications, and he was a reporter for both AP and UPI. He served as editor-in-chief of Harper’s Magazine from 1953 to 1967, and as contributing editor thereafter. Another Harper’s editor, Lewis Lapham memorialized him: “He made the magazine an instrument of rigorous social inquiry, publishing much of the best and most constructive political thought of his era.” ROBERT B. SILVERS (1929 - 2017) was an editorial board member for Harper’s Magazine and co-founder and editor of The New York Review of Books from 1963 to 2017, co-editing it with Barbara Epstein for 43 years until her death in 2006. He received many awards and accolades, including the National Book Foundation’s Literarian Award, the American Academy of Arts and Letters’ Award for “Distinguished Service to the Arts,” the Ivan Sandrof Award for Lifetime Achievement in Publishing and a National Humanities Medal. Among other honors, he was a Chevalier of the French Légion d’honneur and a member of the French Ordre National du Mérite. He was awarded the 2012 National Humanities Medal by President Barack Obama.
