Granta unveils redesigned website

I’ve long been a fan of the travel-oriented literary mag Granta, but have always lamented the fact that it features so little content on its website. Thankfully, that’s all changing.

Yesterday, Granta finally unveiled its redesigned site, including an “Online Only” section of content perfect for those of us who move around too frequently to have magazine subscriptions– a major strike against the vagabonding lifestyle, I must admit.

Anyway here’s some travel-related material Granta is currently featuring, some new and some culled from the dusty archives:

  • Cary Grant’s Suit: What Every Traveler Needs to Stay Smart
  • How to Write About Africa
  • Video: The Disappearing Beach (about Southern India)
  • Photography from the Arctic Archipelago called Svarlbard
  • If you’re so inclined, head on over there and poke around a while. Or better yet, impress your friends and subscribe.
