Granta 81: Best of Young British Novelists 2003
It's now a tradition for Granta to pick the best young British and American novelists once every decade. While their effort has, of course, generated the expected controversy, Granta's editors have been the Warren Buffett's of the literary trade. Their first British list included Ian McEwan, Salman Rushdie, and Julian Barnes. The second, Will Self, Helen Simpson and Jeanette Winterson. Both included Kazuo Ishiguro.
