Bringing together fiction from some of the city's most celebrated writers, The Book of Leeds traces the unique contours that fifty years of social and economic change can impress on a city. These are stories that take place at oblique angles to the larger events in the city's history, or against wider currents that have shaped the social and cultural landscape of today's Leeds: a modern city with both problems and promise.

The Book of Leeds Reviews

"Leeds is fast becoming the UK's most influential centre for short story writing, and much of this is due to the passionate championing of the genre by Comma Press." - The Guardian
