Granta has long been known for the quality of its travel writing. The 1980s were the culmination of a golden age, when writers including Paul Theroux & Bruce Chatwin, James Hamilton-Paterson & James Fenton set out to document life in largely unfamiliar territory, bringing back tales of the beautiful, the extraordinary & the unexpected.
