The Evergreen Review, INC.
In 1957, Barney Rosset, Fred Jordan and a few others launched The Evergreen Review with work by Samuel Beckett, Jean-Paul Sartre, Mark Schorer, and James Purdy. Evergreen’s genius lay in its ability to mix radical American voices from the literary and social fringes. It featured some of the finest writing available, by writers whose influence continues to shape contemporary literature.
After a hiatus of many years, Evergreen was re-launched on-line in 1998, and then again in 2017. The new Evergreen builds on Rosset’s legacy of searching out the stories that aren’t being told or aren’t being heard: stories that challenge our sensibilities and expand our understanding of the way people actually live in the world, and the way their truths can be expressed. Available free of charge in an online-only format, the magazine features fiction, nonfiction, and poetry from an international array of new and established writers.
