Description
Ten years ago, Granta devoted an entire issue to new fiction by twenty of the 'Best of Young British Novelists'. That list of twenty, which includes so many writers who would go on to become some of Britain's most famous (Martin Amis, Pat Barker, Julian Barnes, William Boyd and Rose Tremain among them) has survived as a revealing snapshot of a generation about to come into its own.
ย
Ten years on, four judges-novelists A. S. Byatt and Salman Rushdie, bookseller John Mitchinson and Granta editor Bill Buford-set out to identify the most talented writers of the new generation.
ย
Who are the best of today's young British novelists? And who among them will emerge as the important writers of tomorrow?
