Granta 10
Travel writing is undergoing a revival: not since the 1920s and '30s has it been so popular or so important. What accounts for its sudden appeal? A need for escape? Nostalgia for an experience that means not tourism but adventure? Or does travel writing - being part reportage, part fiction, and part meditation - express concerns that we rarely see addressed in other forms of writing? This issue, the tenth edition of Granta, is devoted to the work of some of today's most important travel writers, including the already established and those just beginning to build their reputations.

Granta 38
It's New Year's Day 1954, and everything is just fine. Inflation is low, employment is high and the time is right for making money - bags and bags of money. On the television (the new color television), there are so many things to see: the Rose Parade and the Rose Bowl and, at half-time, the minute-long commercial for the new Buick (and another for the new Plymouth - and the new Cadillac, the new Chevrolet and the new Ford). And they're all starting to sprout fins. What's more, the word is that Marilyn Monroe is finally getting married. Who would dare dispute the sentiment of 'Engine Charlie' Wilson - the man now in charge of the nation's armed forces - that what's good for General Motors has got to be good for America?

Granta 37
The Family 'They fuck you up, your mum and dad,' Philip Larkin wrote, but Philip Larkin got it wrong. There are also your brothers and your sisters. And your uncles, your grandfather, your endless cousins, your second cousins, your mother-in-law, your father-in-law and your children. There are always the children. The family: no relationship is more important, or more powerful, or more enduring. Or potentially more destructive. In this issue: Mikal Gilmore growing up with a murderer in a family in love with the romance of violence. Sappho Durrell, daughter of the novelist, obsessed by her father - wanting to love him, wanting to kill him. William Wharton determined to represent the intense, unrelenting detail of an unspeakable loss. Geoffrey Wolff on the bliss of a family properly on course.

John le CarrèWhen is easy. Why never is.It is always possible to say when it happens: that crucial moment, in committing a transgression, when the deed is done. Before it, you are not an adulterer. Afterwards, you are. Before it, you are not a criminal or a traitor. Or a spy. Afterwards... But why is much more difficult. Why did Brigadier Jean-Louis Jeanmaire, a military judge, a commander in the Swiss Army, seek the friendship of Colonel Vassily Denissenko of the Soviety Embassy? And why did he do it in the way that he did? Why did he give him so much? The files, confidential documents, the wife. On 17 June 1977, Jean-Louise Jeanmaire, denounced as the 'traitor of the century', was sentenced to eighteen years in prison. He was sixty-seven years old; he was expected to die behind bars. But he didn't. And, on his release, he needed to tell his story. John le Carrè is the world's greatest writer of spy fiction. In 'The Unbearable Peace', he turns to fact and to a story that, like his novels, is about more than spying. It is a story about the Swiss, about money and democracy, and about our own unbearable peace.

Granta 6
This special, double issue of Granta is organized to fill a gap, a felt emptiness in current literary achievement. At a time when it is imperative that we have a literature and a language that are responsible, accountable and instrumental to the lives of we are having to lead - a literature that is an adversary of oppression and not an accomplice to it - we have instead a writing that is remarkable only for its dubious feats of technical virtuosity, its relentless self-referentiality and its deliberate retreat from experience. Granta 6 is dedicated to a different set of possibilities - the possibilities of political engagement.
