Description
An issue devoted to the dubious rewards and strange effects of fame which successfully avoids mentioning Andy Warhol.
This edition centres around celebrity, both good and bad. Contributions include: the search for Hitler's doctor; an Irish republican looks at the Queen Kyle Stone; how Hillary Clinton's home views Hillary; and the cannibal emperor of the Central African Republic.
About the Author
Ian Jack edited Granta from 1995 to 2007, having previously edited the Independent on Sunday.

He is the editor of The Granta Book of Reportage and The Granta Book of India, and the author of a collection of journalism, The Country Formerly Known as Great Britain. He is working, not very quickly, on a book about the River Clyde.
