We have commissioned eighteen great writers to reflect the mood and changes of 2012. Through the eyes of some of the leading fiction writers, essayists, and poets, it offers an immediate reaction to the highs and lows of the past year.

From Hanif Kureishi's take on the legacy of terrorism to love and all its failings by Rachel Cusk, and from Max Hastings' lament for our armed forces to an attack on the decline of feminism by Suzanne Moore, these pages capture all the anger, assertiveness and celebration of an extraordinary moment in time.
