Granta 116: Ten Years Later
A street vendor in Tunisia, an American marine going home and a signals operator on a North Korean fishing trawler. From the battlefields of Afganistan to the streets of Mogadishu and Toronto, these are just a few of the stories in the issue of Granta that conjure the complexity and sorrow of life since 11 September 2001.
The majority of Bangladeshi refugees remain just over the border from Libya, waiting for buses that are supposed to take them to the UNHCR camp. Instead, they will be made to walk the entire distance with all their belongings.
Taken from Nadia Shira Cohen's photo essay Flee, in the issue.
