An Anthology of Granta's Best Writing!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
The stories I loved best in this anthology were Raymond Carver's story, Vitamins; Nadine Gordimer's A City of the Dead, A City of the LIving; Hanif Kureishi's Erotic Politician's and Mullahs: and Lorrie Moore's Agnes in Iowa. The very best were non-fiction selections - Dancing in Cambodia, an article on a survivor of the Khmer Rouge who danced for the palace and was Pol Pot's sister-in-law before the war; and Editing Vidia, a story on how challenging it was to edit the books of V.S. Naipaul at times and his conflicted feeling about his native land of Trinidad. I'd read that selection before in a previous issue but think I appreciated it more the second time reading it. Overall, since this is a "best of" contimplation, how could a reader go wrong?
