Reminiscent of David Mitchell's Ghostwritten and Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities, this is the story of a place that never looks the same way twice: a place imagined anew by each citizen who walks through the changing streets among voices half-heard, signs half-glimpsed and desires half-acknowledged. This is the story of a city.
The Man Booker-longlisted novel is a meditation on how each of us conjures up our own city.Every city is made of stories: stories that meet and diverge, stories of the commonplace and the strange, of love and crime, of ghosts and monsters.The iridescent, Man Booker-longlisted 'Communion Town' is reminiscent of David Mitchell's 'Ghostwritten' and Italo Calvino's 'Invisible Cities'. It is the story of a place that never looks the same way twice: a place imagined anew by each citizen who walks through the changing streets among voices half-heard, signs half-glimpsed and desires half-acknowledged.This is the story of a city.
