London today is embattled as rarely before. In a city of enormous
wealth, poverty is rampant. The burnt-out hulk of Grenfell Tower
stands as an appalling reminder that inequality can be so acute as
to be murderous. Here, Claire Armitstead has drawn together
fiction, reportage and poetry to capture the schisms defining the
contemporary city. With nearly 40% of the capital's population born
outside the country, Tales of Two Londons eschews what Armitstead
labels a "tyranny of tone," emphasising voices rarely heard.
Featuring writers such as Ali Smith, Jon Snow, Arifa Akbar and Ruth
Padel alongside stories from previously unpublished immigrants and
refugees, this is a compelling collection which captures the fabric
of the city: its housing, its food, its pubs, its buses, even its
graveyards.
