City by Alessandro Baricco
A Number One bestseller on publication in Italy, CITY is a dazzlingly inventive novel from the prize-winning author of SILK. In Baricco's words: "CITY is an important title for me, because it expresses what this book has always been in my head. A city. No particular city. An impression of a city rather. Its skeleton. I thought of the stories I had in mind as if they were neighbourhoods. And I imagined characters as if they were streets...There is a boy called Gould, and a girl called Shatzy Shell. There are professors, people who play football, a black kid who plays basketball and never fails to score, and there's also a general".
Alessandro Baricco was born in Turin in 1958 where he still lives today. He is the author of the highly acclaimed and internationally successful novels SILK and OCEAN SEA.
