From Nobel laureates to debut novelists, international translations to investigative journalism, each themed issue of Granta turns the attention of the world’s best writers on to one aspect of the way we live now.
Issue #170 is the 'Winners' issue featuring writers and poets emoting the heroism and anti-heroism of winning. With a main focal point on sports writing, similar to an issue in 1993 where Granta dedicated the whole magazine on midfielder Paul Gascoigne, Nico Walker talks about 'mucker play' in American football whilst Clare Bucknell outlines the difference between 'real tennis' and 'lawn tennis'. Elsewhere is a visual introduction of Myriam Boulos' portraits of women in Beirut, plus more.
