Granta 100

Resumen del libro

In 1979, a young American graduate revived an old Cambridge university magazine and created a home for good writing of all kinds reportage, fiction, memoir, biography as well as photography and, occasionally, poetry. In the years that followed, Granta established itself on both sides of the Atlantic, and continues to publish the best new writing in English from all over the world. This special issue celebrates Granta's 100th issue.

Guest-edited by novelist William Boyd.
