(P/B) GRANTA 105

Παρουσίαση

For the new issue of Granta, ‘Lost and Found’, we charged ourselves with collecting together a series of pieces that reflect the flux that characterizes our world at all times - but which we perhaps feel particularly keenly at the moment, when change seems both vertiginous and difficult to define. The writers in Granta 105 deal with a wide range of topics - from the vast historical fallout of the Spanish Civil War to the irrevocable trauma that follows the disappearance of a child, from the decline of the Irish priesthood to the rather less weighty matter of why pipe-smoking has all but died out - but all of them attempt to capture our feelings as we comprehend and come to terms with loss, and what comes after it. I very much hope you enjoy reading the results of their efforts as much as we enjoyed working with them. (From the publisher)
