Review

"Sets the literary agenda for a generation."

"They say the purpose of the list is to get people talking. It's certainly done that."

"Call it 'Twenty of the Best' and get on with it. Blare the trumpets and wake the readers."

"Best of Young American Novelists is full of good writing: personable, witty, sensitive, ironic."

"Granta's hit parade is refreshing and eclectic, chock-full of strong, immensely talented young writers."

"Granta's once-a-decade literary beauty contest has already raised some hackles, and not just among those who didn't make the cut."

"Will people be reading the magazine for the content or the controversy? Who knows? In any case, Granta deserves some kind of prize."

"Ranking writers like this is pointless; it looks like a publicity stunt. But read 'em and reap: Granta has produced a handy guide to some of the best current American Fiction."
