Grants is an exceptional literary magazine, producing high quality work whilst accepting risk. This edition had stood the test of time, focussing on the contradictions of a stable democratic but conformist Switzerland. Le Carre's short story about a Swiss spy is a classic and Nadine Gourdnier subverts a classically liberal tale in another highlight. Running through the takes is a sense of loss of stability with the fall of the Berlin Wall as it is easier to mourn what is lost rather than concentrate on the opportunities that change brings. Intellectually robust and challenging.
