Granta

For 21 years Granta magazine has aimed to publish the best of contemporary fiction, memoir, reportage and travel writing, using a cross section of different writers to express the diversity and originality of talent. Among those to have featured in the publication include Harold Pinter, Hanif Kureishi and Martha Gellhorn. This anthology takes 21 landmark pieces from each year of the magazine, so bringing together classic pieces from its past and charting its history. An introduction by the editor of Granta, Ian Jack, puts the work in context.
