Granta 101

Reinvigorated and redesigned, "Granta" has a new editor and a new Web site. But it's not all change: we will still continue to publish the world's finest writers of fiction, memoir, and reportage, in an elegant and collectable paperback book. In "Granta 101," there is original work from Robert Macfarlane, reporting from a blitzed Beijing ahead of the Olympics, as well as gripping narrative dispatches from Angola, Kenya, and the troubled suburbs of Paris. Highlights include a new opening section, with pieces by Hilary Mantel and Douglas Coupland, fiction from Annie Proulx and Joshua Ferris, brilliant photo essays and a remarkable investigation into the macabre murder of a celebrated London media figure by award-winning writer Tim Lott.
