Editor's Letter [Granta] had vitality and was engaging with the present moment in ways that so many other British publications were not. It had none of the parochialism, self-satisfaction and introversion one would have expected of a literary magazine. Granta, 101, Spring 2008 Granta in the Press Links to reviews of Granta 101. Granta, 101, Spring 2008 Books of the Year Collected New Statesman articles 1999-2007. New Statesman, December 2007 Comment: A cosy circle of critics? Nonsense Last week, the chairman of the Booker Prize judges complained about the nepotistic world of book reviews. But he missed a far greater problem besetting the modern publishing industry. The Observer, October 21st 2007 Between the Lines I thought of the writers by whom I would most like to read a new novel - Roth, JM Coetzee, Ian McEwan, Milan Kundera, Zadie Smith - I never thought of [Cormac] McCarthy. Then I read The Road, his latest, and astounding, novel. Prospect, June 2007 Down under, going Sideways A former hippy hangout in a remote corner of Western Australia, Margaret River has matured into a charming enclave of fine wines and food. The Observer, April 15th 2007 The comfort of strangers There is something far too conventional about the way books are reviewed and discussed in our newspapers and cultural magazines. Prospect, December 2006 Between the lines Robert Harris may be one of Britain's best rewarded popular novelists, but he remains a victim of literary snobbery, or so he thinks. Prospect, October 2006 Heroes of our time A hero of our time: where indeed shall we find one? New Statesman, April 3rd 2006 The Jason Cowley Column I have seldom met a writer who has been satisfied with a film adaptation of one of his or her novels or indeed a reader who feels that a favourite book has been well served by its transition from page to screen. www.waterstones.co.uk, March 2006 On Pleasure For me... pleasure is increasingly less about a heightening of self through intoxication, as I used to think, than a kind of release from self. The Observer, February 12th 2006 The Jason Cowley Column In the early weeks of February as our high street shops become cluttered with the paraphernalia and ephemera of the love industry, we are forced, often reluctantly, to confront the question of love. www.waterstones.co.uk, February 2006 The Jason Cowley Column Jason Cowley on how some novelists want to be characters in their own books. www.waterstones.co.uk, October 2005 Music: a journey from the centre of planet pop to the margins of the avant garde In March 2005, the journalist and literary critic Jason Cowley travelled to New York to meet David Sylvian for an article published in the Observer on 10 April. Their conversation continued over email. |
