"We are all interested in the future,
for that is where you and I
are going to spend the rest of our lives..."

Old Hag is kind enough to reprint the entirety of a Publishers Lunch report of a Sam Tanenhaus sighting in which hints are made about the eventual relaunching of the NYTBR:

Tannenhaus made it clear that he will start reviewing authors who have "consistently been on the bestseller list" but not generally gotten reviewed in the newspaper. In the reviews he would "like a little stronger opinion as well." Plus, authors with a "legitimate grievance" about how they are reviewed should find their letters getting printed more frequently. "If an author think he hasn’t gotten a fair shake, then the letter runs and the reviewer gets the chance to respond."

This last change, however, will come too late for Richard Ford to punch Colson Whitehead in the goddamn face for calling his book a crappy pastiche.
