Smarties, April 2000

Sweet but also sharp, this issue has some bite. Read fiction from the award-winning writer and Deputy President of English PEN, Hari Kunzru. Martin Parr revels in the delights of British Summer, while Bruce Gilden captures the frenzy of a day at the races in Ireland. Lise Safarti’s raw images depict Russia’s youth long before Gosha Rubchinskiy brought their post-soviet aesthetic into the spotlight, or if you prefer a more refined palette, discover recipes for Oyster Fritters and an interview with the indomitable thinker Theodore Zeldin.
