Literary Hub has published a series of 13 reviews highlighting books by trans and queer authors that received no coverage in the New York Times Book Review from 2013 to 2022. The project, titled 'What Was Lost: A Queer Accounting of the NY Times Book Review, 2013-2022,' responds to the editorial tenure of Pamela Paul, who led the section during that period and later wrote an anti-trans essay. Organized by Sandy E. Allen and Maris Kreizman, the initiative aims to address gaps in literary criticism and foster discussion on representation.
