Magazine keeps Junot Diaz on; editors resign in protest

Three editors at The Boston Review will resign over the magazine’s continued association with Junot Diaz, according to news outlets including Publishers Weekly and The Boston Globe.

Diaz has been an editor at the magazine since 2003 and currently is the fiction editor.

Back in May, several women came forward to accuse him of verbal abuse and sexual harassment.

Poetry editors Timothy Donnelly, BK Fischer, and Stefania Heim announced their plans to resign on Tuesday, the same day that executive editors issued a statement that the magazine would keep Diaz.
