Eric Kallgren Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 1:22pm on Wednesday, December 10th, 2008 | On December 8, 2008, Publishers Weekly reported about Granta:
Former president of the National Book Critics Circle and prolific book reviewer John Freeman has been appointed American editor of Granta magazine. Freeman, who will remain in New York, will collaborate with Granta’s headquarters in London to develop author events, and provide a connection between the magazine, writers who live in the U.S., and Granta’s North American and Canadian readership.
Granta publisher Sigrid Rausing said, “John is a voracious reader and a prolific critic. He also has an indefatigable and entrepreneurial imagination, which will be great for Granta.” Freeman, who PW profiled earlier this month, will join Granta early next year and report to its editor, Alex Clark.
