Editors quit over #MeToo claim
Three editors at the Boston Review are resigning over the political and literary magazine’s decision to retain author Junot Diaz despite allegations against him of sexual misconduct. Poetry editors Timothy Donnelly, Barbara Fischer and Stefania Heim said on Twitter last week they’re “dismayed” at keeping Diaz as fiction editor and felt compelled to step down, effective July 1. Editors-in-chief Deborah Chasman and Joshua Cohen said the accusations against Diaz do not suggest a pattern of abuse that would merit letting him go.
