Thank you to John Derbyshire for his kind words about The New Criterion on the occasion of our 30th anniversary.
Over at National Review‘s The Corner, Derbyshire writes:
I have rhapsodized over TNC long and often. Here I was doing so ten years ago at this very website on, of course, their 20th anniversary. I can’t add much to that earlier tribute other than wonder and delight that the magazine is still with us a decade later. (T.S. Eliot’s quarterly The Criterion, in honor of which TNC was named, lasted only 16 years, as TNC editor & publisher Roger Kimball told me last night with modest pride.) I look forward to rhapsodizing again in 2021.
We heartily endorse Derbyshire’s suggestion (in all-caps, no less) for readers to subscribe to The New Criterion. As he writes, “If there’s something interesting to say about a topic from a conservative standpoint, someone at TNC is saying it, with pith and vigor.” Such subscriptions will help the magazine last another thirty years.
Derbyshire has written several pieces for TNC himself; you can see his most recent piece from the September issue here.
