>GRANTA: Best Of Young British Novelists 5

>"Every ten years Granta magazine publishes a special issue identifying twenty of the best writers in a generation of British novelists. In spring 2023, we will publish the fifth edition, celebrating this decade’s most promising young writers. The judging panel features authors Tash Aw, Rachel Cusk, Brian Dillon and Helen Oyeyemi, and will be chaired by Granta editor Sigrid Rausing."

>"Since the first ‘Best of Young British Novelists’ issue in 1983, Granta has championed the work of authors who have changed the landscape of British literature. In 1983, featured writers included Kazuo Ishiguro, Salman Rushdie, Julian Barnes, Martin Amis and Pat Barker, among many others. Subsequent editions have highlighted the work of Zadie Smith, Nicola Barker, Ben Okri, Jeanette Winterson and others. In 2023, we will introduce readers around the world to a cohort of outstanding new British voices."

How hyped are you feeling right now?

Wait, fuck, this is the 2013 lineup anon. The far left fag is Ned Beaumann, who writes like he dresses. I once started "Boxer Beetle" but had to trash it after the second chapter because of all the whimsy. His new book is near future sci fi about invented endangered species. Guy in the suit is Adam Foulds, whose recent books sound dull, but who did also write The Quickening Maze, which is fine.

The picture is sort of too low resolution to tell. But also they're "white-passing" British (((award-winning))) authors exploring topics such as (((post-colonialism))) and why wypipo bad. Fair to assume there's at least 25% Jews in that photo.

[Anonymous No.21628250]

>>21627099
Well considering that a person doesn’t start writing at age zero, 40 would be young for someone writing their entire adult life. (Let’s say someone starts writing at 20 and stops at 70. The majority of that time they were over 40.) I get that you’re 23 or whatever but 40 isn’t particularly old, and you’ll be that age a lot quicker than you think.
