David Szalay makes Granta’s Best of Young British Novelists

Congratulations to David Szalay who has made Granta magazine’s 2013 list of the Best Young British Novelists. Granta’s list, which has been compiled every ten years since 1983, is renowned for predicting future literary heavyweights. 

David’s contribution to the anthology, a short story titled EUROPA, has been highlighted by both the Guardian and the Evening Standard as ‘one of the best pieces in the anthology.’ He has been hailed by the Guardian as ‘a rising star’ from whom ‘great things are also expected’, and by the Telegraph as a writer who writes with ‘deadpan frankness’ and ‘whose abilities are clear but unshowy’.  

David is the author of three novels, LONDON AND THE SOUTH-EAST (which won the Betty Trask Prize 2008), THE INNOCENT and SPRING.

Granta’s Best of Young British Novelists 2013 is out now.
