Granta Online

At an unearthly noctural hour Putu discovered the online edition of Granta and spent the next few hours devouring the extracts that are available online. Putu in particular would like to recommend, Granta 77: What we Think of America, which has a series of marvellous essays, including two by Amit Chaudhuri and Ramachandra Guha. It ought to be read in conjuction with Granta 84: How America Sees the World. Unfortunately to read most of the articles you need to subscribe, i.e. pay, which Putu will certainly not do. But if that's depressed you, you can always turn to the features section to cheer you up and look at what Granta was reading in 2003.
