From fleeting encounters to marital affairs, mutual appreciation to budding mistrust, our summer issue considers the people who shape our lives.
Granta 168 features J.M. Coetzee’s story ‘The Museum Guard’, about a man whose life takes a bad turn after meeting an older woman at the Prado. Mary Gaitskill writes of her entanglement with a form of physical therapy that is at once sinister and effective. Fleur Jaeggy writes of conniving love in a piece from her first published novel, which has never been translated into English. In Victor Heringer’s ‘Lígia’, an unusual affection grows in a Copacabana apartment complex between two figures who misperceive each other just enough to sustain each other’s satisfactions.
Granta 168 introduces new fiction from Sophie Collins, Kevin Brazil, and Alexandra Tanner. James Pogue continues his reporting from Africa for Granta, with a report from the gold mines of Mauritania.
Plus photography by Rosalind Fox Solomon (introduced by Lynne Tillman), Jesse Glazzard (introduced by Anthony Vahni Capildeo) and Debmalya Ray Choudhuri (introduced by John-Baptiste Oduor).
