Review Holds First Reunion
Few magazines, let alone college literary magazines, can boast a roster that
has included the likes of Thomas Merton ’38, Allen Ginsberg ’48, Ad Reinhardt ’35,
Lionel Trilling ’25, Jim Jarmusch ’75, Terrence McNally ’60, Norman Podhoretz ’50,
Orrin Keepnews ’43, Richard Howard ’51, Louis Simpson ’48 and Robert Giroux ’36.
Nearly 100 Columbia Review alumni and their guests returned to campus on March 10–11 for a
first reunion, organized by Les Gottesman ’68 with help from the Alumni Office. The program included
readings by Columbia Review writers past and present, a panel discussion in the Faculty Room at Low
Library and a special reading at the Bowery Poetry Club.
Panelists at the Columbia Review reunion March 10–11 were (from left) Ralph de Toledano ’38,

in the late ’60s but did not graduate), Hilton Obenzinger ’69, Jennifer Glaser ’00
and the current editor, Max Norton ’06.
