VQR editor Ted Genoways was a guest of the Columbia School of Journalism's Delacorte Lecture Series on February 14, 2008, where he spoke for a little over an hour about the Virginia Quarterly Review, the first half of which we have excerpted here. Genoways spoke frankly about the realities of publishing a small literary journal, though admittedly that's because he didn't actually know that he was being recorded.
