This issue of Granta tells the story of
siblings: chaotic hierarchies, zero-sum games of competition alternating
with tenderness, lifelong relationships that nevertheless can sometimes
break.
Psychoanalysis famously privileges the vertical
relationship between a child (the patient) and their parents over the
seemingly equal and unproblematic horizontal connections between
siblings. This issue of Granta tells a different story - one of
chaotic hierarchies, a zerosum game of sibling competition alternating
with tenderness; lifelong relationships that nevertheless can sometimes
break.
