The latest issue of Granta looks at our oldest obsession. For as long as we’ve been doing it, it has been used as a mark of decline and a measure of progress. It has been at the centre of rituals and responsible for revolutions. We make money from it, hide behind it, prohibit and promote it. It relaxes us, revolts us, hurts us and helps us. But whatever we think about it, however we do it, it defines us. Our panel is made up of three distinguished contributors to the issue:
Adam Foulds was born in London in 1974 and is the author of three books: The Truth About These Strange Times, which won the Sunday Times Young Writer Of The Year award in 2008, The Broken Word, a narrative poem which was awarded the Costa Poetry Prize and the Somerset Maugham Award, and The Quickening Maze, which was short listed for the 2009 Man Booker Prize. He is currently at work on a new novel.
Evie Wyld’s first novel After the Fire, a Still Small Voice, is published by Jonathan Cape in the UK and Pantheon in the US. She won the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize in 2009 and is short listed for the Author’s Club Best First Novel Award 2010. She is currently working on a second novel as well as being Writer in Residence for the Book Trust, and working in a small independent bookshop in Peckham, called Review.
Jo Broughton trained at the Royal College of Art and is a documentary photographer and artist based in London.
