After The War

This new issue of Granta explores the aftermath of conflict. Patrick French writes of a great uncle whose death in the Second World War transformed the family line. A powerful new story by Thomas McGuane tells of fraternal rivalry and the truth of a mother’s past. A new essay by Aleksandar Hemon recounts a friend’s separation from his father during the Balkan Wars. Milton Hatoun describes returning to Beirut with his father from Brazil for the first time after the Civil War. Nations are made and destroyed, families are scattered, the boundaries of loyalty are redrawn. From the familial to the global, here is what follows war, brought to life in fiction, memoir, reportage, poetry, and photography.
