two umbrellas

Last week I received the latest issue of Granta, “The Deep End.” (The previous “Best of Young American Novelists 2″ as of now is still online – an issue that was not disappointing and yet not too impressive either). I just happened to read the introduction, which I am sorry to admit I don’t always read, and to my surprise Ian Jack wrote that he will be leaving the helm at Granta:

Granta is leaving Hanover Yard and I am leaving Granta as its editor. I wish I could say exactly why I am leaving…The best I can do is to say it just felt right.

I have enjoyed my subscription under Ian Jack’s watch – I don’t know who will be replacing him. I am very curious to see how the magazine will (if at all) change.
