Granta 177
Granta once laid down the rules for how not to write about Africa (Binyavanga Wainaina, issue 92), but it has been less explicit about how one ought to write about it. In this special issue, the magazine turns to the literary richness of one African country rather than the continent in the abstract: Nigeria. 177 marks a return to the land that produced some of Granta's finest contributors - Adewale Maja-Pearce, Buchi Emecheta, Helon Habila - with fiction and poetry in translation, reportage from the Fulani heartlands of the north, dispatches from a Lagos newly reconfigured by entrepreneurial fervour, and reflections on the oil frontier whose corrosive effects on the body politic continue to shape the delta and the nation alike.

Granta 176
America was a country dreamed up by religious fanatics and realised through violence. Philip Roth gave a name for this 'blessed rage for purity': the 'indigenous American Berserk'.Granta 176 looks at what's left of this vicious drive, in all its most virulent and florid strains. The American Berserk is the true psychogeography of the country, its dark underbelly. It's what's not fit to print, the stories that cannot be squeezed into the frame of nightly news. For years America has tried to tame itself - commodifying its rage through leisure and politics - but the wild side remains.

Granta 173
India is familiar ground for Granta, having devoted two classic issues to the country, though much has changed since the last dispatch, published on the cusp of the Modi era. 173 will feature exceptional contemporary fiction and poetry in translation, as well as articles dedicated to the Indian space program; the bloody twilight of the Naxalites in Jharkhand; archaeology wars, Bollywood, jingoism, and national myth-making; the murder of Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia; the delicate and fraught care for an ailing parent; as well as a historical introduction by the editor that situates contemporary controversies and aesthetic fault lines in perspective. Plus, in-depth interviews with leading writers and historians, alongside work from emerging and established photographers. Contributors will be drawn from across the country, with a focus on vernacular authors as opposed to the elite enclaves of Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata.

Maelstrom
Las memorias de la editora Sigrid Rausing sobre el impacto de la adicción a las drogas en una familia.¿A qué se parece la tragedia cuando se entrelaza con el privilegio? Durante años, la editora Sigrid Rausing observó impotente cómo su hermano, Hans, y la esposa de este, Eva, sucumbían a las drogas hasta que un día Eva apareció muerta en su mansión de Londres. Los Rausing son los nietos del fundador de la empresa sueca Tetra Pak y herederos, por tanto, de una enorme fortuna. La prensa amarilla devoró esta historia de multimillonarios, muerte, adicción, juicios y conflictos familiares, pero pocos entendieron el sufrimiento de los que conocían a la joven pareja.Estas memorias son el intento de Sigrid Rausing para comprender qué les pasó a su hermano y a su mujer. La autora resigue su tragedia familiar y con una sabiduría humilde se hace preguntas dolorosas y elocuentes sobre la adicción, pero también sobre el trasfondo de la condición humana. ¿Cómo se vive con una adicción en la familia? ¿Cómo ayudar cuando hacerlo implica imponer un estado policial, eliminar la libertad del adicto? ¿Qué implica sobrevivir a la adicción de tu pareja? ¿Cómo controlamos o cómo nos rendimos ante nuestros destinos soñados?Reseñas:'Unas memorias intensas, líricas y lúcidas que plantean cuestiones dolorosas sobre la culpa, la inocencia y el juicio. Maelstrom nos recuerda lo difícil que puede llegar a ser distinguir uno del otro.'Siri Hustvedt'Ahora que todo ha pasado, me sorprendo pensando en la historia y los recuerdos familiares; en los relatos que cohesionan a las familias y los actos capaces de desintegrarlas.'Sigrid Rausing'Una historia única e inolvidable.'The Times'Sorprendente: poderoso y discreto.'The Observer'Rausing retrata la escena con una delicadeza pictórica, para después dar un paso atrás y analizar las implicaciones de lo que ha revelado.'The Guardian'Fascinante, perspicaz, excepcionalmente articulada. Rausing es una experta antropóloga.'The Telegraph'Un libro valiente, iluminado por la notable franqueza de la autora.'The New Statesman'Cautivadora. Maelstrom es profundamente apasionada en su imposible intento de invocar una vitalidad salvadora en medio de un caos agonizante. Un libro valiente, elegante e inspirado.'Andrew Solomon
