Granta 126

We are what we remember, and even when we invent, we write what we remember. Every line is a fragment of something else; that is the great collective project that we call culture. In this issue of Granta, writers remember, or invent, scenes from their own lives and the lives of others.Ann BeattieFiona BensonAndrew BrownBernard CooperLydia DavisDavid GatesArcelis GirmayLaura KasischkeOlivia LaingColin McAdamLorrie Moore Norman RushJohnny SteinbergNathan ThornburghMarta WernerEdmund WhiteJoy WilliamsIntroducing:Katherine Faw MorrisPhotography:Brigitte GrignetYuri KozyrevCollages:Janet Malcolm
