Dreams and Stones by Bill Johnston
In sculpted prose reminiscent of Bruno Schulz, Magdelena Tulli tells the story of the emergence of a great city; in her hands myth, metaphor, history and narrative are combined to magical effect. Dreams And Stones is about the growth of a city, and also about all cities; at the same time it is not about cities at all, but about how worlds are created, transformed and lost through words alone. A stunning debut by one of Europe's finest new writers.
Magdalena Tulli's other novels includeDreams and StonesandMoving Parts, nominated for the 2006 International IMPACDublin Literary Award; and Flaw shortlisted for the 2007 Nike Prize, Poland's most prestigious literary award. Tulli is also the translator of Proust and Calvino into Polish. She lives in Warsaw.
