Through its website, channels, radio show, publishing workshop, print journal, podcasts, short films, events, and new book publishing wing, Los Angeles Review of Books (LARB) helps foster and sustain creative individuals and communities, diversify the voices in the national and international conversation, increase the visibility of women and minority artists and writers, and provide a platform for public discourse not just on literature and culture, but on issues of equality, justice, sustainability, and community. LARB Books—the newest part of LARB’s integrated platform—has launched with five imprints, including the already well-established Les Figues Press, Outcaste Books, LA Classics, LARB Originals, and LARB Short Stories.
