In this special issue Jonathan Raban goes on the road in the American West; Kathleen Jamie dissects a human colon; Matthew Power squats in the Bronx; Paul Farley and Niall Griffiths write about escaping the inner city; Edward Platt goes inside Israel's "bird plague zones"; ...

"Granta is good for exposure to different types of writing that you may not tend to pick up on your own. This one's all about nature writing, or as Granta calls it, new nature writing. It's not about man's elgiac or rapturous response to being in nature as something separate from himself. This is more analytical, more realistic, less human centric. Man, of course, has an impact and not altogether a good one. But this isn't writing about man's divine right to exercise dominion of all the things of the earth. Really appreciated all the pieces here: well written, eye opening, and frightening. I wouldn't have even have taken steps to find and read these pieces had I not been a long time subscriber to Granta. Thanks for another good issue."
