Granta 45 by Bill Buford

Ian Hamilton is a poet and biographer. He is also a Tottenham Hotspur supporter - and a Gazza fan. This collection includes his account of the story of Gazza: at play, on show, in the press, in pain, in distress - of Gazza more sinned against than sinning. Also in this issue: Jonathan Raban: On Flooded Mississippi; Ethan Canin: J.D. Salinger's Heir Apparent?; Nick Hornby: On Teenage Sex; Timothy Garton Ash: With Erich Hoenecker; Michael Ignatieff: On The Era of the Warlord; and Marking the 75th Anniversary of Armistice Day, Steve Pyke's chilling World War I portraits.
