Celebrating Granta 107

Granta launched its newest issue, Granta 107, in London last night. The party was held at the Crown Tavern in Clerkenwall Green. With its mixture of investigative reportage, narrative non-fiction, photography, memoir, fiction and brilliant journalism, Granta 107 follows on from the critically acclaimed summer reading issue to showcase more of the best new writing from around the world. In the issue, Mary Gaitskill meditates on how we measure varieties of loss after the disappearance of her rescued cat; Will Self remembers J.G. Ballard; Rana Dasgupta reports from Delhi on the emergence of India’s super rich; and Javier Marías explores his fear of flying. Granta 107 will be available to subscribers, and in bookstores, shortly.
