Granta 65

More about the book

London at the end of the century comes attached to a new list of marketing superlatives--the most vibrant, the hippest, the coolest of the great global cities: London-New York-Paris-Tokyo. This may amount to no more than a passing coincidence of money, youth, and politics. But for now there is an optimism about London, and the gathering sense of a new London nationalism; the city as a cosmopolitan state.This special issue of Granta, the largest in the magazine's history, is all about London: 352 pages of fiction, reportage, memoir, and photography.
