The Manchester Review's second issue goes live
The second issue of the Centre for New Writing's journal, The Manchester Review, is published online today. We are proud to present new work by Sean O'Brien, Nick Laird, Elaine Feinstein, Helen Dunmore, Amit Chaudhuri, Nick Royle, Linda Chase and many others, as well as exclusive and candid interviews with Colm Toibin and Andrew O'Hagan by novelist and Centre lecturer M.J. Hyland.
The journal includes a lively reviews section at www.themanchesterreview.co.uk/blog.php, which is regularly updated with views from the Review team on the latest books, exhibitions, films, theatre and music. Recent reviews include:
- Fiction: God's Own Country, Ross Raisin
- Film: Revolutionary Road; dir Sam Mendes
A broad range of news organisations featured the publication when it was launched last October including the BBC and The Telegraph. M.J. Hyalnd's interview with Colm Toibin in this issue has already received attention in today's Guardian .
The Review departs from the medium's conventions approach by existing only online, but readers are be able to print a stand-alone version of each piece of content on demand.
New issues appear each spring and autumn, and will often include broadcasts of new music and public debates, visual art and video pieces as well as fiction and poetry.
The journal is edited by the Centre's co-directors John McAuliffe and Ian McGuire.
The full list of contributors is as follows:
