April 25, 2009: The Granta Oath

I do hearby solemnly swear that Granta is one of the best literary magazines around. These photos were taken post-Day-1 of the LA Times Festival of Books, at the party thrown by Granta and hosted by Equator Books in Venice, California.


This is John Freeman, the American editor of Granta, holding the latest issue of Granta. How cool is that!


This is Lizzie, my very obliging girlfriend, who accompanied me to a party where she knew nary a soul.


And this, of course, is me.
Do oaths count if you're missing your pinky?
