Granta 62: What Young Men Do

Two parlous states receive intimate examination in this issue: the first is marriage, the second Indonesia.

Granta 61: The Sea

We would not be without the sea. Without the sea, no clouds, no rain, no rivers, no life. We play at its edges, we put down nets and feed from it, we send cargo across its ruffling surface. Yet it remains the wildest, least-known part of the planet. For too long we have turned our backs to it. This issue looks outward again, with James Hamilton-Paterson, Julia Blackburn, Neal Ascherson, and more.

Granta 59: France: The Outsider

Granta 56: What Happened to Us?

This issue freezes the frame on Britain before the 1997 election: a country that has rarely been so nervous (don’t mention the beef) or so fundamentally troubled. Is this a nation, a way of life, saying farewell to itself? Jeremy Seabrook, Hanif Kureishi, Hilary Mantel, Fintan O’Toole, and fiction by John Banville (on the making of a very British traitor).
