← Back to all issuesGranta 105: Lost and Found
Spring 2009
In this issue, we reflect on people and places undergoing momentous change. Jeremy Treglown investigates the Spanish Civil War’s restless dead; Elizabeth Pisani searches for truth in Tiananmen Square, twenty years on; Maurice Walsh talks to Ireland’s priests about how their role in the community is changing beyond recognition; and Rick Gekoski is consumed by the lost lines of a genius. Plus, fiction by A.L. Kennedy, Janet Frame and Altán Walker; poetry by John Burnside; and Jan Morris goes sailing in Cardigan Bay.

The Silkworms
Janet Frame
‘Nothing has changed, Edgar said. What new event is written into their history? None. Where is their future? Nowhere. Are they against or for progress? It was dark when Edgar took the box outside down to the rubbish heap and sprinkled the dead moths upon the ashes of the diseased pawpaw.’ Janet Frame on an unsettling natural process.
