Description

The Person Booker-longlisted book examines how all of us brings up our very own town. Every town consists of stories: stories that diverge and satisfy, stories of the predominant and the unusual, of crime and love, of creatures and spirits. The iridescent, Male Booker longlisted Communion City is similar to David Mitchell's Ghostwritten and Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities, it's the tale of the place that never appears exactly the same method twice: a place thought over by each resident who walks through the changing roads among sounds half-noticed, indicators half-glimpsed and wishes half-recognized. This is actually the tale of the town.
