Soft cover. Condición: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. A very rare first edition of the third issue of the reborn Granta, champion of new writing, which grew to be one of the best known, most widely read and longest enduring of a notoriously ephemeral species, the literary magazine.

Grantas 1,2 and 3 are now almost always seen only as reprints with a new cover, in a design which became the Granta house style for all issues subsequent to this one. Other writers who were or later became well known, contributed to Granta 3 (though none of them were as celebrated or controversial as Rushdie) included Angela Carter, Alan Sillitoe, Russell Hoban, Emma Tenant and Lorna Sage.
