Reading the City

Travelling is great, but what happens when your experience of new cities becomes confined by your status in them as just a tourist. The guidebooks only tell you what guidebooks tell you – what tourists what to know. Comma's 'Reading the City' offers a completely new way in. Ten stories, by ten different authors from the city in question, specially commissioned or never previously translated into English – they each offer differing, conflicting, and contradictory impressions of the city, with histories, cultures and secrets hidden underpinning each one.
