Freeman's: The Future of New Writing
About this book
A diverse anthology of poetry, fiction and essays from the most exciting writers around the world in this "fresh, provocative, engrossing" literary journal (BBC.com).
The literary anthology Freeman's, created by writer, critic, and former Granta editor John Freeman, has quickly gained an international following with wide acclaim. It has been called "bold [and] searching" by the Minneapolis Star-Tribune and "impressively diverse" by O Magazine. This issue introduces a list of more than twenty-five poets, essayists, novelists, and short story writers from around the world who are shaping contemporary literature and will continue to impact it in years to come.
Drawing on recommendations from book editors, critics, translators, and authors from across the globe,Ā Freeman's: The Future of New WritingĀ includes pieces from writers aged twenty-five to seventy, from almost twenty countries and writing in almost as many languages. This will be a new kind of list, and an aesthetic manifesto for our times. Against a climate of nationalism and siloed thinking, this special issue celebrates a global view of where writing is going next.
"The oldest is 70. The youngest, 26. In between, the best list of this kind I have ever seen."āMarlon James
