	Granta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Granta was founded in 1889 by students at Cambridge University as "The Granta".
		In October 2005, control of the magazine was bought by Swedish-born philanthropist and human rights campaigner Sigrid Rausing, granddaughter of billionaire Ruben Rausing, inventor of the Tetra-Pak carton.
		In 1983, Granta (issue #7) published a list of 20 young British novelists as names to watch out for in the future.

	Boston.com / A&E / Media / At 25, Granta lives on as a literary oddity
		For starters, Granta may be a magazine, but each quarterly issue has the look and heft of a large-format paperback.
		Granta's name and history predate 1979, and a river runs through it.
		The Granta is the less comomonly used name for the Cam, on whose banks sits Cambridge, England.

	AbleStable \| Review Centre \| Magazines \| Granta
		Two years ago, the London Observer wrote of Granta: 'In its blend of memoirs and photojournalism, and in its championing of contemporary realist fiction, Granta has its face pressed firmly against the window, determined to witness the world.' This commitment means that it rarely publishes reviews or essays or other forms of writing about writing.
		Granta provides the context for authors to express themselves from within a community of writers, rather than as a featured author, and I sense this is a significant reason for the loyalty and interest of its continuing readership.
		Granta takes its role of literary filter seriously, and has produced a publication that is both challenging, yet a joy to read.

		Barnes's most recent contribution to Granta is a short entry on London, one of many such contributions by authors gathered under the uniform title of "A London View".

		But judging from the mixed and muffled reaction to the short list Granta made public late last fall -- 52 writers spread, like college football rivalries, across five regional divisions -- the issue may be in for a bumpy landing.
		Granta's preliminary list landed with a particularly hard thud in New York, where many members of the city's pack of very visible and very well-reviewed novelists -- the writers who swim with the sharks -- are nowhere to be found among the fifty-two.
		Granta's judges deny that there was any conscious effort to slap around this generation's hipper, better-selling writers.

	The Observer \| Review \| Granta's grotto
		Granta's list is a marketing exercise on behalf of contemporary literature, and was the brainchild of Desmond Clarke, who ran the Book Marketing Council in the early 1980s, before literary novelists acquired their present status as minor celebrities.
		It was, in other words, a particularly fortunate time to have embarked on such an exercise, and Bill Buford, then editor of Granta, who devoted an issue to the list, decided to repeat the process himself in 1993.
		Granta's list, like all literary prizes, is an attempt to bypass market imperfections, and is loved and loathed by publishers, who are inclined to dismiss it as irrelevant when they aren't included, and to applaud its detachment and authority when they are.

	Amazon.co.uk: Books: Best of Young British Novelists 3 (Granta: The Magazine of New Writing S.) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Much of Granta's success as the Anglo-American fiction and journalism magazine of choice rests upon its Best of Young British Novelists issues, which appear every 10 years and feature an editorial board's selection of 20 British fiction writers under the age of 40.
		The scope of the issue generally lies within Granta's house style--well-written, somewhat conservative realist fiction--although there are a few excursions into weirder territory, such as Toby Litt's baroque essay-story, "The Hare" and Robert McLiam Wilson's magic realist "The Dreamed" in which war dead are rematerialised and resurrected in the bed of an aging English man.
		The practice of showcasing novelists through a selection of short stories, novel excerpts and works-in-progress is obviously a compromise, as only those writers who are particularly skilled at short fiction will be seen at their best.

	England, England - Granta's best young British novelists, 2003. By Meghan O'Rourke (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In his introduction, Ian Jack, Granta's editor, invites readers to refrain from comparing this issue with the inaugural, and starry, "Young British Novelists" issue of 1983; that was a "special" generation, he says.
		But to read Granta's "Young British Novelists" issue in 1983 and encounter the work of then-newcomers Martin Amis, Julian Barnes, Rose Tremain, Salman Rushdie, and Ian McEwan was to realize that these weren't simply applicants to the pantheon of great British writing.
		These novelists were writing about the state of England—but instead of chronicling the decline of the postwar British Empire, they took measure of the changes wrought by Thatcherism and the rise of immigration and widespread global communication in a convention-bound culture that, like a kipper on a breakfast plate, seemed mostly unapproachable.

		IN THE winter issue of Granta, the quarterly themed collection of scribblings, which, for better or worse, sets the metropolitan literary agenda, Ian Jack and his usual Brit lit suspects, ponder on the UK's past and present.
		Granta 56, as it drapes this skeptical isle in dust-sheets and shrouds, as it dresses us in autumnal, end-of-the-pier, good-bye-to-all-that fashions, might be accused of doing just that.
		For the Granta gang, what's left is a shell, the power trappings of a played out, corrupt establishment, under which lies a vast emptiness.

		Since 1979, Granta has published many of the world's finest writers tackling some of the world's most important subjects, from intimate human experiences to the large public and political events that have shaped our lives.
		Some of them — Travel (Granta 10) and The Family (Granta 37), for example — have found a place in the recent history of literature.
		Granta does not have a political or literary manifesto, but it does have a belief in the power and urgency of the story, both in fiction and non-fiction, and the story's supreme ability to describe, illuminate and make real.

	Granta: Granta 77: What We Think of America
		The September 11 attacks on the US provoked shock and pity in the rest of the world, but mingled with the sympathy was something harsher: anti-Americanism.
		The effect of Granta's roundup is shockingly human: Here are no, or few, diatribes, and much affection--through tears--from Arab and Muslim contributors....
		In the wake of September 11 and the invasion of Afghanistan, Granta asked writers across the globe to describe how America had influenced their lives—culturally, politically, economically, for good or ill. For this issue we turned Granta 77's question around and asked American writers how they had encountered countries other than their own.
