Featured Authors

Chip Heath & Dan Heath

In a compelling, story-driven narrative, the Heaths bring together decades of counterintuitive research in psychology, sociology, and other fields to shed new light on how we can effect transformative change. Switch shows that successful changes follow a pattern, a pattern you can use to make the changes that matter to you.

George Bishop

A mother gives a painfully candid account of her life, saying "everything I've always meant to tell you but never have," as she awaits her runaway teenager's return in Letter to My Daughter.

Henning Mankell

January 2006. In the Swedish hamlet of Hesjövallen, nineteen people have been massacred. The only clue is a red ribbon found at the scene. With The Man from Beijing, Henning Mankell, acclaimed author of the Kurt Wallander mysteries, gives us an electrifying stand-alone global thriller.

Rebecca Skloot
In The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, Rebecca Skloot explores the life and legacy of a poor Southern farm woman who died sixty years ago but whose cells, taken without her knowledge, became the first "immortal" human cells grown in culture—cells that are still alive today and are bought and sold by the billions.

This article is about the literary magazine and publisher. For the stretch of the river known as "Granta", see River Cam.

Granta Editor John Freeman

Categories Literary magazine

Frequency Quarterly (irregular)

Publisher Sigrid Rausing

Total circulation

(2006) "almost 50,000"[1]

Year founded 1889

First issue Relaunch: September 1, 1979

Country United Kingdom

Language English

Website www.granta.com

Granta is a literary magazine and publisher in the United Kingdom whose mission centers on its "belief in the power and urgency of the story, both in fiction and non-fiction, and the story’s supreme ability to describe, illuminate and make real."[1] In 2007, The Observer stated, "In its blend of memoirs and photojournalism, and in its championing of contemporary realist fiction, Granta has its face pressed firmly against the window, determined to witness the world."[2]

[edit] History

Granta was founded in 1889 by students at Cambridge University as The Granta, edited by R. C. Lehmann (who later became a major contributor to Punch). It was started as a periodical featuring student politics, badinage and literary efforts. The name is an older form of what is today called the River Cam, the river that runs through the town. An early editor of the magazine was R. P. Keigwin, the England cricketer and Danish scholar.



In this form the magazine had a long and distinguished history. The magazine published juvenilia of several writers who later became well known, including: Bertram Fletcher Robinson; Michael Frayn; Ted Hughes; John Simpson; A. A. Milne; Sylvia Plath; and Stevie Smith.



[edit] Rebirth

During the 1970s the publication, faced with financial difficulties and increasing levels of student apathy, was rescued by a group of interested postgraduates. In 1979, it was successfully relaunched as a magazine of "new writing", with both writers and audience drawn from the world beyond Cambridge. Bill Buford (who wrote Among the Thugs originally as a project for the journal) was the editor for its first 16 years in the new incarnation; Ian Jack followed him, editing Granta from 1995 until 2007. In April 2007 it was announced that Jason Cowley, editor of the Observer Sport Monthly, would succeed Jack as editor in September 2007. Cowley redesigned and relaunched the magazine and launched a new website; in September 2008 he became editor of the New Statesman, and Alex Clark, a former deputy literary editor of The Observer, succeeded him as the publication's first female editor.[2] In late May 2009, Clark left the publication, and John Freeman, the American editor, took over.[3]



As of September 2004, Granta's circulation was 46,831. It now publishes, approximately quarterly, a distinctive mix of fiction, personal history, reportage and inquiring journalism and documentary photography.



[edit] Ownership

In 1994, Rea Hederman, owner of The New York Review of Books took a controlling stake in the magazine. In October 2005, control of the magazine was bought by Sigrid Rausing.



[edit] Granta Books

Like the magazine, Granta's book publishing imprint, puts literary integrity before commerciality. Its stated aim is to publish work that "stimulates, inspires, addresses difficult questions, and examines intriguing periods of history." Owner Sigrid Rausing has been vocal about her goal to maintain these standards for both the magazine and the book imprint, telling the Financial Times, "[Granta] will not publish any books that could not potentially be extracted in the magazine. We use the magazine as a yardstick for our books... We are no longer going to look at what sells as a sort of argument, because it seemed to me that we were in danger of losing our inventiveness about what we wanted to do.” Authors recently published by Granta Books include Simon Gray, Michael Collins, Anna Funder, Olga Tokarczuk and Tim Guest.



[edit] Granta Best of Young British Novelists

In 1983, Granta (issue #7) published a list of 20 young British novelists as names to watch out for in the future. Since then, the magazine has repeated the exercise in 1993 (issue #43) and in 2003 (issue #81). In 1996 (issue #54), Granta also published a similar list of promising young American novelists, which was repeated during 2007 (issue #97). Many of the selections have been extremely prescient, with at least 12 of those listed either winning or being shortlisted for major literary awards such as the Man Booker Prize and Whitbread Prize.



The inclusion of Adam Thirlwell and Monica Ali on the 2003 list caused some controversy, as neither had yet actually published a novel [3]. Thirlwell's debut Politics later met with mixed reviews, although Ali's Brick Lane found much success.



More controversy ensued when Dan Rhodes contacted everyone else on the 2003 list to try to get them to make a joint statement in protest against the Iraq war, which was gaining momentum at the time. Not all the writers responded, becoming one of the reasons Rhodes almost decided to quit writing altogether

My Literary Website of the Week - allreaders.com

http://www.allreaders.com/
These sites were created by one person, me, Steve Gordon. One person, creating a big site like this? Sounds improbable. But I've done it before.
1) I'm a graduate of Yale University (Summa Cum Laude, Phi Beta Kappa) and from Harvard Law School.
2) I single-handedly created the very first large scale experts site on the internet, Allexperts.com.
3) I and my work have been featured in over 80 magazines and newspapers, including The New York Times, USA Today, Wired magazines, and others.
4) I instinctively deduced the principals behind the Gordonator Precision Search Engine, and the interface needed to power it.
5) I recruited the thousands of volunteers to help build the GPSE into the thing of beauty it is today, and
6) I'm a writer myself: 20 novels and counting. I'm currently thinking of branching out into short films.

Why Allreaders was created: To get more people reading more books.

I got up one morning and realized that it was pretty difficult to find new authors I liked. I would have to stand in the bookstore for hours, reading the backs of books, buying a few, and then, when I got home and really started reading, realizing that I didn't really like what I had bought. Shopping online was even worse, because I didn't have the backs of those bookcovers to read.

I realized immediately that fiction, unlike non-fiction, was very difficult to classify. I noticed that unless a book was a "top 20" book, it wasn't browsable on Amazon.com et.al. unless one knew the exact author or title to look for. One couldn't search for a book with a specific kind of plot, or a specific kind of character. New authors had trouble getting discovered, and even established authors had trouble expanding their reach.

Being a writer, I started thinking about what people liked, and disliked about books. I realized that people didn't just like books, they liked certain plots in books, certain kinds of characters in books, certain kinds and amounts of action and dialogue in books. if I could turn this idea into a database that could be accessed by a search engine, I would be doing the fiction readers and writers of the world a great service.
The same applied to our movie review engine at Allwatchers.com. What allreaders could do for books, allwatchers could do for movies.

And so I created the GPSE, the Gordonator Precision Search Engine. Catchy title, eh? All the focus groups loved it.

New Press

http://www.thenewpress.com/
About The New Press

Established in 1990 as a major alternative to the large, commercial publishers, The New Press is a not-for-profit publishing house operated editorially in the public interest. It is committed to publishing in innovative ways works of educational, cultural, and community value that, despite their intellectual merits, may be deemed insufficiently profitable by commercial publishers. Like the Public Broadcasting System and National Public Radio as they were originally conceived, The New Press aims to provide ideas and viewpoints under-represented in the mass media.
Since publishing its first book in 1992, The New Press has been widely hailed as a leading trade publisher. Booksellers, educators, critics and readers have extensively praised the New Press's books, and they have been the recipients of numerous awards. The Press itself has been featured in publications from the New York Times, The Nation, Education Week and the Christian Science Monitor to The Guardian (UK), Toronto Globe and Mail (Canada), Le Monde (France), and many other international media.

Underlying The Press's editorial program are three aims: to broaden the audience for serious intellectual work, especially by reaching out to audiences intellectually red-lined by commercial publishers; to bring out the work of traditionally underrepresented voices; and to address the problems of a society in transition, highlighting attempts at reform and innovation in a wide range of fields.

What you are doing is stimulating, interesting, useful, and beautiful, very beautiful. Bravo!

— Elie Wiesel

A powerful force in serious publishing.

— Stanley Katz, President, American Council of Learned Societies

What does The New Press publish?

The New Press publishes about fifty titles each year, ranging from national bestsellers such as Studs Terkel's Race and Peter Irons's May It Please the Court to more modestly selling but important titles such as East to America: Korean American Life Stories and Dismantling Desegregation: The Quiet Reversal of Brown v. Board of Education.

Editorially, The New Press focuses on number of key program areas, including: contemporary social issues, with an emphasis on race relations, women's issues, immigration, human rights, labor and popular economics, and the media; education reform and alternative teaching materials; cultural criticism; art and art education; international literature; and law and legal studies. Across these disciplines, The Press has also taken a leading role in publishing a wide range of new work in African American, Asian American, Latino, gay and lesbian, and Native American studies, as well as work by and about other minority groups.
In all of these areas, The New Press has worked with cultural organizations, including historical societies, museums, archives, media watch groups, and educational associations to bring the most exciting work produced at a local level to a broad, national audience.

The New Press is very much an activist press; with the help of a dynamic group of editorial advisory committees, it seeks to identify areas in which new books and materials are most needed, and to commission books to fill those needs.
The Press has also experimented with innovative formats and designs, including book-and-tape sets, book-and-diskettes sets, art portfolios, postcard books, posterbooks, and alternative textbooks.

I and many others in the writing community welcome what the New Press is up to, both for its own sake and for the impacts on the good side that one hopes it will have on conventional commercial publishing.

Romantic Reads

As Valentine’s Day approaches, lovers try to find a way to express their feelings for each other by sending Valentine’s cards, presenting flowers, or offering confections. If you want to be unique this year, why not give a book as a gift? Below are some book suggestions for your loved ones – be it a friend, family member, boyfriend/girlfriend or YOURSELF – for this upcoming Valentine’s Day.


YOURS EVER by Thomas Mallon

What’s more romantic than receiving a hand-written letter, especially a love letter? Why, in the age of email, do we still feel the need to write letters? Yours Ever will remind readers of the pleasures found in letters, even the ones not addressed to you.
Skip to chapter five and you’ll find an entire section on love letters. Perhaps this will inspire your loved one to put his/her feelings for you into written words, and if that’s not possible or likely, Mallon writes about an escritorio publico, a professional “letter writer,” whose job it is to express sentiments on paper—feelings the sender is incapable of scribbling him/herself.

THE LOCUST AND THE BIRD by Hanan al-Shaykh

In search of a gift for your mother or girlfriend? Look no further. Hanan al-Shaykh, known as “one of the most daring female writers of the Middle East,” has written an extraordinary tale of undying love. Recreating the dramatic life of her mother, Kamila, Shaykh describes Kamila’s forced marriage at the age of thirteen to a much older man (despite the fact that she was in love with a young man named Mohammed), the scandalous affair she continued during that marriage, and of the shame she brings to her family by divorcing. While Shaykh has written a beautiful account of her mother’s life, the core of the story is the passion between Kamila and Mohammed and of the risks she takes for love.

Order your copy and check out the reading group guide.

A PIGEON AND A BOY by Meir Shalev

From the internationally acclaimed Israeli writer Meir Shalev comes a mesmerizing novel of two love stories, separated by half a century but connected by one enchanting act of devotion.

A Pigeon and a Boy is the profound and lively story of lovers then and now, about how deeply we love, what home is, and what it all comes to in the end. Meir Shalev tells a story as intimate as a winged declaration of love.

Order your copy and check out the reader’s guide.
CHICKEN WITH PLUMS by Marjane Satrapi

Perhaps you feel a different kind of love this Valentine’s Day. Perhaps the love of an object? You are not alone. The main character of Marjane Satrapi’s Chicken with Plums, Nasser Ali Khan, is a celebrated Iranian musician who gives up his life for music and love.

The poignant story of one man, Chicken with Plums is also stunningly universal—a luminous tale of love, life, and death, and the courage and passion they require of us.

Order your copy and check out other books by Marjane Satrapi.

LA’S ORCHESTRA SAVES THE WORLD by Alexander McCall Smith

Perhaps you’re recovering from a shattered relationship and need a pick-me-up? We have the perfect remedy. From the best-selling author of The No.1 Ladies’ Detective Agency series comes La’s Orchestra Saves the World, a delightful and moving story that celebrates the healing powers of love, friendship, and music.

With his all-embracing empathy and his gentle sense of humor, Alexander McCall Smith makes of La’s life—and love—a tale to enjoy and cherish

THE BOOK OF NEW ISRAELI FOOD by Janna Gur

Need a recipe for a romantic Valentine’s dessert to cook for your loved one? Look no further than Janna Gur’s stunning Book of New Israeli Food, which is at once a coffee-table book and a complete cookbook.

For a treat that will end the night right, try out the ISRAELI CHEESECAKE recipe – one of the most popular and easy to make. This cake is prepared with gvina levana, soft low-fat white cheese, but if unavailable you can use cream cheese.

And make sure to order your copy!

Ingredients (for a 20×20 cm / 8×11 inch rectangular baking dish):

The Crust and Topping:

200 g (7 oz, 1 2/3 cups) crumbled petit-beurre cookies

120 g (4 oz) melted butter

25 g (1 oz, 2 tablespoons) sugar
The Filling:

200 g (7 oz) butter

200 g (7 oz, 1 cup) sugar

1 egg

1 egg yolk

250 g (one small container, 9 oz) soft white cheese (gvina levana)

200 g (one small container, 7 oz) sour cream

1. Prepare the crust and the topping: Combine the crumbled cookies with the sugar and melted butter.

2. Press two-thirds of the mixture onto the bottom of the baking dish. Freeze for 15 minutes until the crust solidifies. Keep the rest for the topping.

3. Prepare the filling: Beat the butter with the sugar, egg and egg yolk in a mixer for 10 minutes until creamy and fluffy.

4. Gently fold in the cheese and the sour cream and pour the filling into the prepared crust. Coat with the remaining cookie crumb mixture and refrigerate for 24 hours before serving.
Variation: Replace gvina levana with an equal amount of cream cheese.

Dial

http://us.penguingroup.com/static/pages/publishers/yr/dial.html

Dial Books for Young Readers

Dial Books for Young Readers is a hardcover division publishing approximately fifty titles a year for children of all ages, from preschool through young adult. Dial traces its roots to 1880 and the founding of The Dial, a monthly literary magazine that was edited over the years by Conrad Aiken, Van Wyck Brooks, and Marianne Moore, and published such literary giants as e.e. cummings, T.S. Eliot, D.H. Lawrence, and Gertrude Stein. The magazine founded a book publisher, The Dial Press, in 1924. The publishing house survived, although the magazine was long gone by 1961 when the children's book division was established. By the 1960's, Dial was jointly owned by Richard Baron and Dell Publishing Company; E. L. Doctorow was editor-in-chief. When Dell was acquired by Doubleday in the late ‘60s, that company sold the children’s division of Dial to E. P. Dutton, and after another few changes in corporate ownership, Dial Books for Young Readers found its current home as a division of the Penguin Young Readers Group.

Through it all, Dial has retained its identity for publishing books of high literary merit, fine design, and kid-relevance. It has pioneered books for the young, including the first quality board books published in the U.S., Rosemary Wells's Very First Books line, and some of the first wordless picture books, Mercer Mayer’s A Boy, A Dog, and a Frog titles. Current picture book creators published by Dial include Caralyn & Mark Buehner, Kadir Nelson, and David Soman & Jacky Davis (all New York Times Bestsellers), Tedd Arnold, David Catrow, Alison Jay, and Kevin Sherry.

In fiction for middle grade and young adult readers, Dial’s focus has always been on stylish, genuine, character-driven writing. Recent award-winning authors on Dial’s list include Ingrid Law, Richard Peck, Lauren Tarshis, and Nancy Werlin.

New Books:
Occupied City by David Peace


A fierce, exquisitely dark novel that plunges us into post–World War II Occupied Japan in a Rashomon-like retelling of a mass poisoning (based on an actual event), its aftermath, and the hidden wartime atrocities that led to the crime.

Jesus, Jobs, and Justice by Bettye Collier-Thomas


“The Negroes must have Jesus, Jobs, and Justice,” declared Nannie Helen Burroughs, a nationally known figure among black and white leaders and an architect of the Woman’s Convention of the National Baptist Convention. Burroughs made this statement about the black women’s agenda in 1958, as she anticipated the collapse of Jim Crow segregation and pondered the fate of African Americans. Following more than half a century of organizing and struggling against racism in American society, sexism in the National Baptist Convention, and the racism and paternalism of white women and the Southern Baptist Convention, Burroughs knew that black Americans would need more than religion to survive and to advance socially, economically, and politically. Jesus, jobs, and justice are the threads that weave through two hundred years of black women’s experiences in America.

Faber and Faber Publishers

http://www.faber.co.uk/

About Faber :Faber and Faber began as a firm in 1929, but its roots go back further - to The Scientific Press, founded in the early years of the twentieth century, which was owned by Sir Maurice and Lady Gwyer and which derived much of its income from the weekly magazine The Nursing Mirror. The Gwyers' desire to expand into trade publishing led them to Geoffrey Faber, a fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, and 'Faber and Gwyer' was founded in 1925. Four years later, The Nursing Mirror was sold and Geoffrey Faber and the Gwyers agreed to go their separate ways. Searching for a name with a ring of respectability, Geoffrey hit upon the name 'Faber and Faber', although there was only ever one of him.

In the meantime, the firm had prospered. T. S. Eliot, who had been recommended to Faber by a colleague at All Souls, had left Lloyds Bank in London to join him as a literary adviser and in the first season the firm issued his Poems 1909-1925. Also appearing in the catalogues from the early years were books by Ezra Pound, Jean Cocteau, Herbert Read, Max Eastman, George Rylands, John Dover Wilson, Geoffrey Keynes, Forrest Reid and Vita Sackville-West.

In 1928 the anonymous Memoirs of a Fox-hunting Man appeared, proving so popular that over the next six months it was reprinted eight times. Siegfried Sassoon's name was added to the title page for the second impression as the book became Faber's first commercial success, and an enduring literary classic.

Poetry was always to be a prime element in the Faber list and under Eliot's aegis W. H. Auden, Stephen Spender and Louis MacNeice soon joined Pound, Marianne Moore, Wyndham Lewis, John Gould Fletcher, Roy Campbell, James Joyce and Walter de la Mare.

Under Geoffrey Faber's chairmanship the board in 1929 included Eliot, Richard de la Mare, Charles Stewart and Frank Morley. This young and highly intelligent team built up a comprehensive and profitable catalogue which always had a distinctive physical identity and much of which is still in print. Biographies, memoirs, fiction, poetry, political and religious essays, art and architecture monographs, children's books, and a pioneering ecology list years ahead of its time, gave an unmistakable character to the productions of 24 Russell Square, the firm's Georgian offices in Bloomsbury. It also produced Eliot's literary review The Criterion.

During the Second World War, paper shortages meant profits were large, but almost all went in taxes and subsequent years were difficult. However, with recovery a new generation joined Faber, bringing in writers such as William Golding, Lawrence Durrell, Robert Lowell, Ted Hughes, Sylvia Plath, W. S. Graham, Philip Larkin, P. D. James, Tom Stoppard and John Osborne. These last two, first published in the 1960s, represented the firm's growing commitment to modern drama, reflected in a pre-eminence that remains to the present day.

Faber and Faber remains one of the last of the great independent publishing houses in London.
