Granta 18: The Snap Revolution

‘We had found our way, we realized, into the Marcoses’ private rooms. It seemed to me that in every room I saw, practically on every available surface, there was a signed photograph of Nancy Reagan. But this can hardly be true. It just felt as if there was a lot of Nancy in evidence.’ Also in this issue: Seamus Deane, Primo Levi, David Hare, and John Berger.

Granta 17: While Waiting for a War

‘I find myself in 1985 refreshing my memory of 1937 and 1938 in an old commonplace book and very fragmentary diary. There are verses copied there which I must have chosen for their significance at these moments of my life: literary gossip, bizarre crimes and divorces wrenched from newspapers...and then suddenly the digging of trenches on Clapham Common.’ Plus Alice Munro, John Updike, Doris Lessing, Kazuo Ishiguro, and Marianne Wiggins.

Granta 15: The Fall of Saigon

Witty, bizarre, and verging on the lunatic – who in his right mind would gatecrash an embassy on the back of an invading army’s tank? – James Fenton’s account of the fall of Saigon is an extraordinary record of the collapse of a city at war. Plus: Nadine Gordimer, George Steiner, and Ryszard Kapuscinski’s ‘Warsaw Diary’.
