Granta 104: Fathers

by Alex Clark
Granta 104: Fathers - Thryft
Granta 104: Fathers - Thryft

Evocative tales exploring the multifaceted fatherhood.

If you're intrigued by the complexities and varied experiences of fatherhood, "Granta 104: Fathers" offers a rich tapestry of perspectives. From Hisham Matar's heart-wrenching story about his kidnapped father to Margaret Atwood's personal reflection, this edition weaves emotional narratives with cultural critiques. It's a profound read for anyone looking to delve deep into the bonds, and sometimes wounds, that fatherhood can entail.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Four years after "Mothers", "Granta 104" sets its sights on fathers. Look out for Hisham Matar on his father, who was kidnapped while living in Egypt and imprisoned by Muammar al-Gaddafi in Libya; Helen Epstein on 'fatherhood' within the prisons of San Francisco; a dictator who has styled himself as the Father of the Nation; Rawi Hage on Beirut, as seen through his father's eyes; becoming a father again in middle age; and, Junot Diaz on Latin American 'Big Men'. It also features writers, including Margaret Atwood and Ali Smith, on their favourite pictures of their fathers.
