Lewis H. Lapham, Longtime Editor of Harper’s, Dies at 89 Born into a patrician family, he used Harper’s and later his own Lapham’s Quarterly to denounce what he saw as the hypocrisies and injustices of a spoiled United States.

RIP Lewis #Lapham. His writing was immaculate; his perspectives, enlightening. The way he contextualized the present by way of the past in Lapham’s Quarterly was important, and vital - I can’t recommend seeking out his work strongly enough. Required reading. #giftlink www.nytimes.com/2024/07/24/b...

“Mr. #Lapham … was a nationally respected journalist whose commentaries on politics, wars and the wealthy were disparaged by conservative critics but often likened by admirers to the satires and cultural criticisms of H.L. Mencken and Mark Twain” www.nytimes.com/2024/07/24/b... #RIP #LewisLapham
