On the men who shape our lives
The literary review Granta was originally founded in 1889 by students at Cambridge University and published some of the early work of AA Milne and Sylvia Plath and Stevie Smith. Re-launched in the seventies it has since helped to launch the careers of some of the world’s best loved writers, the first draft of Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children appeared in the magazine, and Granta readers were the first to encounter the narrative prose of such as Bill Bryson, Arundhati Roy and Zadie Smith. Last year Granta appointed its first female editor, Alex Clark. She joins Jenni to discuss the challenges of editing a magazine of new writing, and about the first edition under her leadership which is entitled Fathers: The Men Who Made Us. | |
