edit data

Granta magazine was founded in 1889 by students at Cambridge University as The Granta, a periodical of student politics, student badinage and student literary enterprise, named after the river that runs through the town. In this original incarnation it had a long and distinguished history, publishing the early work of many writers who later became well known, including A. A. Milne, Michael Frayn, Stevie Smith, Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath. During the 1970s, it ran into trouble – dwindling money, mounting apathy – from which it was rescued by a small group of postgraduates who successfully and surprisingly relaunched it as a magazine of new writing, with both writers and their audience drawn from the world beyond Cambridge.

今年我回北京时，几乎认不出它来。那不是上世纪八十年代，我童年时初见的首都，那时候外衣单薄的男人们三五成群，站在寒风里抽烟，而自行车潮似乎随时要把我卷走；也不是九十年代的那座城市，那时天安门广场上的扬声喇叭里，流淌着Kenny G的音乐；更不是胡锦涛时代的北京，彼时三里屯泛绿的天空下，有喝到不省人事的年轻人，而酒店的宴会厅里，有西方教授们举办的法律研讨会。这座城市昔日的模样仿佛都被抹除，挡风被下轰鸣的摩托车引擎声也被特斯拉和比亚迪的静音所替代。这次我走向人民大会堂时，一名警卫对我笑笑，好像在问：你还来这里做什么呢？

北京剧作家陈思安驾驶着她的雪佛兰，疾驰在三环路上。她跟我说起中国文学界面临的新一轮冲击：“传统的出版平台已经失效了，一部分有深度的媒体也被关停，”她说，“真正的读者已经不多了。”今年早些时候，她的一部戏没能通过审批。剧院推测，是因为剧情涉及了疫情元
