Publisher's Synopsis
A story becomes a story once it has an ending, and there is no ending more powerful than death. The story of Romeo and Juliet begins when Romeo and Juliet die. The story of Othello. The story of Anna Karenina. The story of Madame Bovary: until their deaths; there is no story. But what is the story of death itself? Granta 27, 'Death', presents work from fourteen writers and photographers who have set out to look at death and have tried to articulate what they have seen.
