Granta 70 by Ian Jack

The year 2000 is Australia's year, including the Sydney Olympics in September, and the 100th anniversary of its nationhood three months later. This issue of "Granta" celebrates Australian writing and examines a country which is forging a strong new identity. The contributors include Peter Carey, Thomas Keneally, Les Murray, Tim Winton, Frank Moorhouse, Howard Jacobson, Robyn Davidson, Murray Bail, Paul Toohey, Georgia Blain and Peter Conrad. There are picture essays by Polly Borland and David Moore, and an Australian novella by English writer Ben Rice.

Ian Jack edited Granta from 1995 to 2007, having previously edited the Independent on Sunday. He has written on many subjects, including the Titanic, Kathleen Ferrier, the Hatfield train crash and the three members of the IRA active-service unit who were killed on Gibraltar. He is the editor of The Granta Book of Reportage and The Granta Book of India, and the author of a collection of journalism, The Country Formerly Known as Great Britain. He is working, not very quickly, on a book about the River Clyde.
