Granta 90: Country Life

Country how it is lived, how it has changed, and how the changes are far from over. An issue that ranges from English fox-hunters to the rice-planters of the Ganges delta.

Tim Adams goes on a fox hunt, Craig Taylor returns to Akenfield thirty-five years after Ronald Blythe’s landmark book, Jeff Sharlet finds out what’s eating rural Coloradans. Plus Margaret Atwood, James Hamilton-Paterson, Barry Lopez, Orhan Pamuk and Tim Winton on the weather. And Matthew Reisz on his grandmother’s affair with Havelock Ellis, the grandfather of sexual studies.
