Paris Review Editor Lorin Stein Resigns Amid Sexual Misconduct Investigation
Lorin Stein, the editor of The Paris Review, has resigned from his position in the midst of an internal investigation into his treatment of female employees and contributing writers at the literary magazine, The New York Times reported Wednesday.
Stein, a highly esteemed figure in the literary world, submitted his resignation to the magazine’s board on Wednesday afternoon. He provided a copy to the Times without comment. In the letter, Stein apologized for his behavior and said he had “only begun to understand this past month” how his actions had degraded women.
“At times in the past, I blurred the personal and the professional in ways that were, I now recognize, disrespectful of my colleagues and our contributors, and that made them feel uncomfortable or demeaned,” he wrote. “I am very sorry for any hurt I caused them.”
The magazine’s board released a statement speaking out against workplace harassment but declined to comment on Stein specifically.
