First Edition/First Printing. First Edition/First Printing. Fine/Wraps (as issued). Here it is - a beautiful copy of the Granta Magazine that sparked great debate with its Summer 1996 Issue. At Granta's request, eighteen established American novelists of an older generation deliberated their choice among the new. The final judging panel-including Robert Stone, Anne Tyler and Tobias Wolff-identified twenty writers of particular achievement and promise. When this issue came out - many of these names were unfamiliar to many readers - that is certainly no longer the case. This group of writers has gone on to produce some of today's best work - including many, many awards. This is destined to become a most important item in any collection of modern literature.
