Granta 80: The Group

Everyone has at some point in their life been a willing or reluctant member of a group. The family, of course – the initial group – and then the school class, the football side, the quiz team, the workplace, colleagues, fellows, friends and comrades. Group photographs are their souvenirs – fond and sometimes grim reminders of a previous way of life and the people who shared it. In this issue of Granta, writers take out their group photographs and remember the best and the worst.
