THE SCENE OF THE CRIME: Genocide is a word that has haunted this century, but its definition is contentious and our memory of it selective. A photographic essay by Simon Norfolk introduced by Michael Ignatieff.
BEASTS: what they make of us, and how they shape us. Including Paul Auster living a dog's life; Hilary Mantel on a mongrel breed; Sam Toperoff as a tarantula ('Why would we poison anything we weren't going to eat?')
NEW FICTION: from John Barth, T.C. Boyle, Jackie Kay, and Martin Amis ('Love without words. A caveman could do it. And it sounded like something that Picasso or Beckett might have pulled off. But Sir Rodney Peel?')
MY FROZEN FATHER: a memory of South Africa by Deborah Levy
PUNISHMENT: witnessed in the USA and in Pakistan by Joyce Carol Oates and Anwar Iqbal ('Although I had been writing against public flogging ever since it began, I wanted to watch it.')
Ian Jack edited Granta from 1995 to 2007, having previously edited the Independent on Sunday. He has written on many subjects, including the Titanic, Kathleen Ferrier, the Hatfield train crash and the three members of the IRA active-service unit who were killed on Gibraltar. 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.
