Bøger i Granta: The Magazine of New Writing serien

Not so much the state we're in as the mess we're getting into. Reports and stories from the frontiers of climate change and environmental (and human) catastrophe.

Contains writing from people whose experience of life suggests they have something to tell us about survival.

Features the work by the twenty writers that Granta's judges - including novelists Edmund White and AM Homes - have selected as the most interesting young voices in American fiction.

Features articles by: Tim Parks, on the joys of commuting from Verona to Milan every day; Christopher de Bellaigue, on tracking down the Armenians in Turkey; Jeremy Treglown, following in the footsteps of V. S. Pritchett in Spain; Jeremy Seabrook, on being separated from his twin; and, Todd McEwen, on Cary Grant's trousers.

The politics of religion around the world

Country Life: how it is lived, how it has changed, and how the changes are far from over. An issue that ranges from English fox- hunters to the rice-planters of the Ganges delta.

Britain invented the factory - Manchester was the world's first factory city. Where are they now? The anser, mainly, is China. An issue devoted to how and where we made and make things, from strawberries in the fields of Herefordshire to the car plants of Korea.

Collection & anthologies of various literacy from John MCGahern on his mother's struggle for health & happiness in Catholic Ireland, Alexander Fuller on bearing a child in Africa, Ryszard Kapuscinski on his memories of the Second World War plus writings from Edmund White, Paul Theroux, Jim Lewis and others.

A celebration of Granta's first quarter century with new writing from the writers who made its reputation, including Martin Amis, Paul Auster, William Boyd, Amit Chaudhul, Richard Ford, James Hamilton-Paterson, Jan Morris, Blake Morrison, Jayne Anne Phillips, Paul Theroux and Edmund White.

Granta magazine's 71st issue, "What We Think of America", was a prescient reflection of the USA's deepening political unpopularity among people outside its own borders. But what do Americans themselves think of their country's new imperialism - and of the world it rules?

Everybody has been a reluctant or willing member of one: the family, the school, the football side, the quiz team. Group photographs are their souvenir. In this issue of "Granta", writers take out their group photographs and evoke the times, places and people they used to know.

This edition centres around celebrity, both good and bad. Contributions include: the search for Hitler's doctor; an Irish republican looks at the Queen Kyle Stone; how Hillary Clinton's home views Hillary; and the cannibal emperor of the Central African Republic.

This edition is a fiction special and includes new short stories by Rachel Cusk, Edmund White and Jonathan Ley.
