In fact one of the best Granta's for many years in my opinion. A,N Homes' short story of romance and self loathing at the Holocaust survivors conference manages to be touching, hilarious and provactive without causing offence. Charles Glass' reportage from Palmyra is heart breaking. Jason Cowley's description of his childhood in Harlow New Town is enlightening, and David Flusfelder's accounts of the few surviving specialty shops (and their owners) in London, should have been considerably longer. All in all a very engaging edition ( )
