Granta: Big Men / Ian Jack (Editor)



BIG MEN
Big as in substantial, tall, powerful, famous; men as in weak, wicked, cruel and notorious. They have their charms.
'My dear, sugar-sweet Adolf,' wrote a German woman to Hitler in 1939. 'I look at your pictures constantly. . . and give them a kiss.' Thousands of other German women wrote similar love letters. They sent him cakes; they felt for him in his moments of triumph and disaster; their hearts went pitter-pat. In this issue, women encounter tyrants in and out of their tyrannies. The tyrant as survivor: Giua Sereny went to theNuremberg rally in 1934 and fell in love with the colour and the noise. Forty-four years later, she meets Albtrt Speer, responsible for that spectacle (and for slave labour), and grows to love his guilt.
The classical tyrant Caroline Alexander got a job in Africa at the whim of its longest-ruling dictator – a man who now chooses to remember not his commands to murder, but the life of Julius Caesar. The tyrant in the next room: in a little house in the north of England twenty years ago, a six-yeu-old girl acquired a stepfather. And then there was no more dancing. By Andrea Ashworth.
Plus: Lindsey Hilsum witnesses the genocidal hatred of small men for tall men. Blake Morrison and Edwud Blishen consider failing manhood. LA women in the words and pictures of Douglas Brooker. And new fiction from Clive Sinclair, Claire Messud and Harold Pinter.
