Witnesses to the country's revolutionary modernization, China's writers have experienced historical whiplashes and sprints forward on an extreme scale.The zhiqing - the educated youth whom Mao 'sent down' to the countryside and who experienced a decade of extreme austerity - are at a vast distance from the generations below them, who have lived through an epoch of self-assertion and creative dreaming. In China today, writers across generations look abroad, to new technologies, as well as to rich veins in the Chinese literary past for new modes of expression.Granta's special issue on the writing of contemporary China collects many of the mainland's most thrilling voices - poets, novelists and non-fiction writers, as well as philosophers.

Baby-boomers, gen-X, millennials, zoomers: the dividing lines among generations in literary culture have become stark to the point of parody. Granta 166 tests the limits of each generation's given definition in popular culture against the reality of its most sharply observed fiction. Stories by Andrew O'Hagan, Brandon Taylor, Nico Walker and Lillian Fishman fill an issue that captures the change in values, aesthetic emphasis and technological experience among different age cohorts, all the while questioning the legitimacy of the generational conceit. Non-fiction includes meditations on the short history of the idea of 'a generation', as well as on the relative absence of youth revolts in our time, and the shadowy rule of the old - gerontocracy - in societies across the globe.

Is it the end of the English novel? Has it grown predictable and unadventurous?

This special, double issue of Granta is organized to fill a gap, a felt emptiness in current literary achievement. At a time when it is imperative that we have a literature and a language that are responsible, accountable and instrumental to the lives of we are having to lead - a literature that is an adversary of oppression and not an accomplice to it - we have instead a writing that is remarkable only for its dubious feats of technical virtuosity, its relentless self-referentiality and its deliberate retreat from experience.
