‘Aliens’ launches in London

Our new issue, Granta 114: Aliens, launches officially tonight in London. Entry is free and unreserved – come to Daunt Books, 83 Marylebone High St., London W1U 4QW at 6.30 p.m. to meet fellow readers, as well as the magazine’s editors and contributors including Mark Gevisser, Philip Oltermann and Madeleine Thien.

The evening also marks the culmination of our participatory project, ‘Am I An Alien?’ Readers are invited to publish responses to the question – with text, photos or video – by posting them on our Facebook page. Visit now to join the conversation.

Granta holds a series of events internationally for the release of each issue. (The front-page image shows mariachis performing at one of our events to celebrate the Best of Young Spanish-Language Novelists issue.) Visit our events page for a full listing, including events in Paris and New York next week. We also post news of events on our Twitter feed and Facebook page.
