Reviews
Granta 121 shows a young generation emerging with a hi-tech, interconnected world and it neither chooses nor needs to put Brazil at its centre ... All the writing here is similarly knowing, sassy, exploratory. It is frontier crossing, critical of national verities, emotionally frank, sometimes cruel, often funny. Granta has performed an exemplary act of translation.

Synopsis
Now, with its first-ever issue fully translated from Portuguese in partnership with Granta em Portugues, Granta continues its work of celebrating emerging talent from around the world. This title celebrates a new generation of writers from Brazil., Showcasing a vibrant new generation of writers from one of the world's fastest-growing nations. Since Granta's inaugural list of the Best of Young British Novelists in 1983 - featuring Salman Rushdie, Ian McEwan, Kazuo Ishiguro, Martin Amis and Julian Barnes - the Best of Young issues have been some of the magazine's most influential. In 2010, Granta looked beyond the English-speaking world with Best of Young Spanish-Language Novelists. Now, with its first-ever issue fully translated from Portuguese in partnership with Granta em Portugues, the magazine continues its work of celebrating emerging talent from around the world. Submissions by young and promising authors from across Brazil have been read and discussed by a judging panel comprised of the country's foremost literary figures - including Manuel da Costa Pinto, coordinator of the Paraty Literary Festival, Cristovao Tezza is one of the most important writers in the country, and Benjamin Moser, author of a biography on Clarice Lispector. Their final choices will introduce the world to the diversity and uniqueness of Brazilian literature today.
