The Granta 7 by William Boyd

Martin Amis, Kazuo Ishiguro, Salman Rushdie, Ian McEwan and Julian Barnes were relatively unknown names in literature when Granta published its first Best of Young British Novelists list in 1983. They did not remain unknown for long. These writers -- along with Pat Barker, Rose Tremain, A.N. Wilson and Adam Mars-Jones -- became the most celebrated voices of their generation. In this anthology, now newly reissued in paperback, allows readers to experience the emerging voices of today's most established writers.
Bill Buford was for sixteen years the editor of Granta magazine, which he relaunched in 1979. Previously he was the fiction editor at The New Yorker, where he now works as a staff writer. He is the editor of The Granta Book of Travel, The Granta Book of Reportage and The Granta Book of the Family. He is also the author of Heat: An Amateur's Adventures as Kitchen Slave, Line Cook, Pasta-Maker and Apprentice to a Dante-Quoting Butcher in Tuscany.
