Granta has come out with a Sex edition. It features pieces from the likes of Dave Eggers and one of my personal favorites, Jeanette Winterson.
It has a lovely cover. (F/lthyGorgeousTh/ngs)

New issue of FGT: Commerce. In this issue, we look at the places where sex and money meet with a collection of perspectives that can only, at best, scratch the thin surface. We have personal voices from a stripper, a client, a prostitute, a woman who writes about sex for money, a woman who trains dancers to dance for money. Kasia answers the question: when would you pay for sex? (Answer: when you’re in the hands of an expert.) So does debauchette. Melissa Gira traces the footsteps of prostitution in her excerpt from w4m
In addition to these written features, we have an interview with Katie West, who’s thrived on ‘digital currency.’ We also have photography by the talented Joseph Story, whose projection work has resonance with the subject at hand. We have your photos. And to finish off, we have a few black and whites by Remi Rebillard, a dose of still, clothed beauty.
This month’s ‘Win This’ is a little different: we want words this time. Your thoughts, experiences, insights. What’s taboo to you? What personal taboo would you like to break? Tell us at [email protected].
