There is a Proustian, moneyed elegance about the magazine Grand Street; it's a little like the New Yorker minus the cartoons and the china figurine ads. Consequently, A Grand Street Reader is a showcase of deluxe literature; while there are exceptions, these 40 poets, essayists, and fiction writers move mainly through the rarefied strata of life and art with their memoirs of affluent childhoods, their tales of life abroad. Good writing makes any subject fresh, however, and readers will especially enjoy such pieces as Michael Train's account of his talkative father's last days and Claud Cockburn's essay on spies he knew personally.
