Great Writing, Shocking Stories

Granta is a quarterly British magazine that offers the best of new British writing, as well as reportage and photographs. Each edition is dedicated to a particular theme, in this case, Africa. Almost all Granta's are good but some are better than others and this one is particularly successful. It includes a shocking account of the civil war in Liberia entitled "The last days of Dr Doe", as well as a story of an African filmmaker in Hollywood, a lovely inspirational piece by Nelson Mandela and a brilliant excerpt from Paul Theroux's My Secret History about the lepers of Moyo.
