Granta 168: Significant Other

With a focus on energetic and voice-driven fiction, our summer issue will be centred on desire: crushes, companionship, delusion and devastation. Kevin Brazil, Sophie Collins, Victor Heringer and Alexandra Tanner, among others, query what it means to refract ourselves through others and have our identities designed, upheld or crushed by the people we love. In non-fiction, Snigdha Poonam writes on sectarian tensions in India and the construction of a temple on India's most religiously fraught piece of land.
