For over a century, the Times Literary Supplement has been the world's leading cultural magazine, with essays and reviews on the most significant books, ideas and art of our times. We are still proud to be publishing the best and brightest writers about the broadest range of books and ideas. And we believe that the audience to read it is larger, and hungrier for information, than at any point in the last 116 years. Every week you’ll find over 40 reviews and essays, from Shakespeare to Schopenhauer, popular theatre to political theory. According to Le Monde, the Times Literary Supplement “has no rivals”. According to Noam Chomsky, it is “provocative, stimulating, irritating, informative”. To anybody interested in the life of the mind, the TLS is indispensable.

In this week′s TLS, the novelist Giles Foden (bestselling author of The Last King of Scotland) writes about the latest Nobel literature laureate, Abdulrazak Gurnah. In the week of the Frankfurt Book Fair we also look at European literature: Russell Williams write about the phenomenon of the rentrée littéraire in France, an intense period in which hundreds of books are published ahead of the round of annual literary prizes; we review Andrea Camilleri′s last Inspector Montalbano novel, an unexpectedly postmodern sign-off; and some re-released work by the iconic Annemarie Schwarzenbach, who lived fast, died young, and left behind a beautiful corpus. Plus Beejay Silcox on the misogyny of Australian political life, Michael Caines on Hamlet, and much, much more.
