Tim Rutten reports in the LAT today that Benjamin Schwarz, who has changed the profile of The Atlantic book section in his three years as literary editor, is moving to Los Angeles in September. There already have been many more Los Angeles writers than usual appearing in the venerable Boston-based magazine, among them David Ulin, Caitlin Flanagan, Sandra Tsing Loh and, in upcoming issues, Mona Simpson and Marc Cooper. Rutten calls the move a major Eastern acknowledgment of Los Angeles' intellectual chops, and Schwarz -- who has spent time here working for RAND -- agrees.
