Granta 20: In Trouble Again

Travel has engered some of the best imaginative writing today, and it is easy to see why: the best travel writers don’t write unless they have returned with a story. Combining elements of autobiography, reportage, comedy and simple, good storytelling, ‘In Trouble Again’ promises to be one of the most memorable collections of travel writing available today.

Redmond O’Hanlon in the Amazon jungle, Salman Rushdie in Nicaragua, Colin Thubron in China, Ryszard Kapuscinski in Angola, Martha Gellhorn in Cuba, Peregrine Hodson in Afghanistan. Plus: Amitav Ghosh, Norman Lewis, Timothy Garton Ash, Hanif Kureishi, and Orville Schell.

‘Granta’s Travel Writing is more than an excellent taster; it is the finest prose anthology to be published in years.’ New Statesman
