Granta 98: The Deep End

I love Granta, the British quarterly of new writing. I have an enormous stack to catch up on, and am working backward. This issue focuses on "people, whose experience of life suggests they have something to tell us about survival." Lots of good stuff, though I particularly enjoyed Jackie Kay's "The Last of the Smokers" and "Agammemnon's Truth" by Javier Cercas.

Get it from Amazon, where they are convinced it's Granta 99 rather than 98.
