About Michigan Quarterly Review:

Michigan Quarterly Review, founded in 1962, is the University of Michigan's flagship journal, publishing each season a collection of essays, interviews, memoirs, fiction, poetry, and book reviews. Since 1979, when an issue on the subject of "The Moon Landing and Its Aftermath" appeared, one issue each year has been entirely devoted to a special theme. Some of MQR's most popular special issues are: "The Automobile and American Culture," "Detroit: An American City," "Contemporary American Fiction," "The Female Body," "The Male Body," and "Bridges to Cuba." In the last few years MQR has published nonfiction by Margaret Atwood, Carol Gilligan, Douglas Hofstadter, Maxine Hong Kingston, Toni Morrison, Joyce Carol Oates, Amos Oz, Richard Rorty, John Updike, William Julius Wilson, and other authorities in their fields, as well as some of the finest contemporary fiction and poetry.

MQR is, as we like to say, "more than a literary magazine." Unlike most of the academy-based journals in this country which publish literary materials exclusively, MQR reflects the multidisciplinary nature of the University of Michigan, and publishes writings in a wide variety of research areas. It must be emphasized that authors in MQR use clear prose, free of jargon, to present their arguments. All writings in the journal are accessible to intellectual readers, however complex the topics they undertake.
