A propos du livre

Revue de presse

'The new issue contains excellent work themed around post-conflict fallout. Patrick French is terrifically indignant about growing up in an army family in thrall to remembrance culture. Overall, it's stirring stuff.' --Evening Standard

Superb --Sunday Herald

'Literary journals are like a box of chocolates: you never quite know what you're going to get, although in certain cases - notably that of Granta - you can be sure of uniform excellence and rare, unexpected delights. The journalism in this issue is superb. The Rainy Season by Lindsey Hilsum is a powerful and affecting account of her return to Rwanda. Justin Jin's Zone Of Absolute Discomfort is stark, beautiful and grotesque all at once' --New Zealand Herald

'After the War is one of the strongest editions in the magazine's long, illustrious history' --Tribune

Présentation de l'éditeur

How long is the shadow of a battle, an explosion, a revolution? What stories arise in the wake of devastation? This issue explores the complicated aftermath and legacy of conflict. Lindsey Hilsum returns to Rwanda two decades after witnessing the beginning of genocide. Patrick French writes of a great-uncle whose heroism in World War I left behind a 'saturating cult of remembrance'. From air-raid drills in Paul Auster's America to a calf with a broken foot in Herta Müller's Rumania, this is how we live after the war.

With new writing by Aminatta Forna, Romesh Gunesekera, A.L. Kennedy, Hari Kunzru, Yiyun Li, Thomas McGuane, poetry by Jean-Paul de Dadelsen, Ange Mlinko and Rowan Ricardo Phillips and photography by Dave Heath and Justin Jin.
