Granta 90: Country Life
One of the world’s oppositions used to be: rus versus urbs, country v town, ale v claret, fields v houses, nature v artifice, starlight v lamplight. But does that division still persist? Does the truly rural still exist? This issue of Granta has dispatches from the greenery.
Country life: dispatches from what’s left of it. Featuring Robert Macfarlane, Barry Lopez and Kathleen Jamie, with fiction from Richard Powers and Helen Simpson.
List price: £10.99
