review 1: The picture on the front cover is the best thing about this edition of Granta. It was a cynical attempt to woo new subscribers. They still use this edition in adverts, even though it's quite old now. Oh, and there was a recent twist on this idea called The F Word. Disappointingly, the F stands for feminisim.There is a nice story by Marie Darrieusecq in this sex edition. Perhaps calling it a story is too kind, although she calls it a story. It's more of an anecdote. There are some drawings of animals by Dave Eggers. The tenuous connection with the sex theme is that they are 'contemplating sex.'That's indicative of the way this sex theme has been implemented. It's all a trick to get your interest. It's a cheap tease. It doesn't deliver.I have bought many Grantas. But I don't... more subscribe.That's my way of teasing them back.
review 2: Well, first of all, my copy is better than everyone else's copy because I had it signed by both Jennifer Egan and Mark Doty. But besides that, this issue of Granta was just okay. I didn't love every piece included, and I couldn't even get through some of them. My favorites, however, include: Mark Doty's "The Unwriteable," Victor LaValle's "Long Distance," Rupert Thomson's "Park Life," and Jeanette Winterson's "The Agony of Intimacy." less
