FICTION / LITERARY The Soul of the City is a tale of two cities,
Belfast and London, in the heady, liberating days of the late 1960s
and early 1970s. Young Jim Mitchell moves through a succession of
jobs, girlfriends and apartments in the quest for personal
fulfillment and his dream of becoming a writer in the face of often
dispiriting circumstances. There is the trauma of his affair with
Maureen, an older, married woman, and the trap of his career on the
unrelenting white-collar production line of the "Ministry of
Truth," against the background of civil rights protest and the
onset of the troubles in Belfast.Escaping to the space and freedom
of London, Jim tries to live the dream of the bohemian writer but
all too soon there is the pressing need to earn a living in the
more mundane occupations on offer in the metropolis. Just when all
seems lost, Jim meets and falls in love with the beautiful Anglo-
Irish student Bridget and is drawn into an exciting student-hippy
milieu of experimentation, idealism and fun.However, such pleasures
are by definition transient and the young couple, Jim and Bridget,
must strike out on their own, exploring love, intimacy and
enlightenment together in their ongoing search for the soul of the
city.
