#granta — Public Fediverse posts

🤡 Ah, the pinnacle of #literary masterpieces: a deep dive into the world of... #slime. 🧽 The publisher #Granta must have consulted a top-tier focus group of 5-year-olds to decide on this gripping subject matter. 📚 Because who wouldn't want to read about gooey blobs instead of, you know, something interesting? 🙄

I became interested in #ChineseLiterature some time ago, but up till now I’ve only read some classics and Chinese speculative fiction & fantasy, so I found this #podcast on contemporary Chinese #literaryFiction interesting & helpful to get an idea about the field. There‘s some free to read short stories on the #Granta website: https://granta.com/products/granta-169-china/ .

Granta publishes its Best British Young Novelists list https://bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-65256575

Each decade this list highlights interesting new talent; past lists included Pat Barker, Salman Rushdie & Iain Banks to name but three. I was lucky enough to chair an author from the 2013 list at the Edinburgh Book Fest, it's a great boost to writer's profiles

Wow. Just. Wow. Biography or novel or autobiography? Dystopian political allegory? Artistic treatise? All these things in a compulsively readable book with a gasp inducing climax. #BiographyOfX #CatherineLacey #Granta @bookstodon
