Chicago Tribune Chicago-Main Newsstand in Evanston has sold 140 copies of Granta 108: Chicago. The only other time the newsstand sold any issue that topped 100 copies was when Newsweek put out a special edition after
Barack Obama won the presidential election. "It's unusual for a literary magazine to sell like that," says the newsstand owner. "Even mainstream magazines don't sell in that quantity -- 50 of anything is huge."
