GRANTA, The Magazine Of New Writing, Volume 54, Summer, 1996, The Best of Young American Novelists. Who are the best young novelists in the United States of America? Bad question. Writing can't be measured like millionaires, athletes and buildings, the richest, the fastest, the tallest. But also a useful question when every year in the USA about a thousand 'literary' novels and short story collections are published, many by writers who have just begun to make their way. What are they writing about? How are they writing about it? Is 'Dirty Realism' still with us? Which might you want to read? And who, among this generation, will emerge as the important writers of tomorrow. At Granta's request, eighteen established American novelists of an older generation deliberated their choice among the new. The final judging panel including Robert Stone, Anne Tyler and Tobias Wolff, identified twenty writers of particular achievement and promise. This issue of writing is a revealing snapshot of a new generation of American writing.
