From Nobel laureates to debut novelists, international translations to investigative journalism, each themed issue of Granta turns the attention of the world’s best writers on to one aspect of the way we live now. 

Their latest issue explores 'Definitive Narratives of Escape', taken from Roger Reeves' essay on how to tell and understand the stories of slavery. Writers examine their relationship to loss; from Kalpesh Lathgira's photo essay documenting his relationship to Mumbai to an exploration of stranded geography by Xiao Yue Shan during her writing residency in Iceland.
