Publisher's Synopsis

In Granta 103, look out for a remarkable investigation into the rise of the British jihad by Richard Watson; Binyavanga Wainaina on what it means to be Kenyan after the ravages of ethnic cleansing; Isabel Hilton in China and Tibet; Philip Delves Broughton on the trail of rogue trader Jerome Kerviel; and Caleb Crain on the future of Fresh Kills, once America's largest landfill, now a repository of much of the September 11 wreckage and a graveyard for many of the unidentified dead. Web exclusives on www.granta.com include interviews with Jonathan Raban, Lorrie Moore, Robert Macfarlane and others; Zimbabwean writer Petina Gappah on her country in crisis; short films and audio discussions with Granta contributors; original fiction by emerging writers in the New Voices series; and news, blogs, photography, and highlights from the archive, updated daily.
