Jack Leaving 'Granta'

-- Publishers Weekly, 11/22/2006

Ian Jack will step down in June as editor of Granta after 12 years on the job. Speaking about Jack's departure, publisher Sigrid Rausing said the magazine "owes a huge debt" to him, adding that she hopes he will continue to contribute to the publication. Jack, whose successor has not yet been named, explained that after editing “nearly 50 issues of the magazine, which is about the same number as my predecessor, Bill Buford, there comes a time when you recognize you can do a thing too long.”
