The New York Review of Ideas is a web magazine reporting about New York commerce, literature and politics. The Manzine is actually £2 for the print version, but some of the its best is also online.

Are these related in a way I did not notice, or are they just two odd webzines of interest?

Good find. There is a good article there on Jay Parini who wrote a book about Leo Tolstoy's final days called 'The Last Station', which has been made into a really fine movie soon to be released.

So does this hamper or enhance my ability to pretentiously refer to The New York Review of Books as simply The New York Review?

I read Ian Crouch's "Canon Fodder" from the NYRI; to spare anyone else the time and effort of reading three pages of overanalyzed beans, here's the heart of it (SPOILER ALERT):

The Longman was the first competing anthology to be published in years, and according to Shesgreen, Norton was desperate to get a complete copy of the Longman’s table of contents. Later that year, they got it.

Most boring spy story ever!
