“Hard to believe that a journal first published in 1889 by students of Cambridge, and which published the juvenilia of Ted Hughes and Sylvia Plath, would have an issue devoted entirely to getting it on. Yet, lucky for us, so it is: Granta gives us Sex. Roberto Bolano imagines himself with a red-headed prostitute, Dave Eggers draws animals contemplating sex, and A.M. Homes responds (online in After Hours) to Jo Broughton's photographic essay Empty Porn Sets. Don't miss this launch party where Victor Lavalle reads his essay on having sex in a new body.”

BookCourt Says:
Sex is our oldest obsession. For as long as we’ve been doing it, it has been used as a mark of decline and a measure of progress. It has been at the centre of rituals and responsible for revolutions. We make money from it, hide behind it, prohibit and promote it. It relaxes us, revolts us, hurts us and helps us. But whatever we think about it, however we do it, it defines us.
