Granta 121: The Best of Young Brazilian Novelists

Brazil, the great Jorge Amado said, is not a country but a continent. In this latest instalment of the Best of Young Novelists series that introduced Jonathan Franzen, Salman Rushdie, A.L. Kennedy and Zadie Smith, Granta presents the young writers who are telling modern Brazil’s vast and compelling story – and who are its future.

Each of the twenty writers in the issue, which was originally published in Portuguese by Objectiva, will be introduced by a previous Best of Young Novelist, with Adam Thirlwell on Michel Laub, Rachel Seiffert on Vanessa Barbara and Alejandro Zambra on Daniel Galera.
