In this strange and lovely hymn to Prague, Michal Ajvaz
repopulates the city of Kafka with ghosts, eccentrics, talking
animals, and impossible statues, all lurking on the peripheries of
a town so familiar to tourists. The Other City is a guidebook to
this invisible, "other Prague," overlapping the workaday world: a
place where libraries can turn into jungles, secret passages yawn
beneath our feet, and waves lap at our bedspreads. Heir to the
tradition and obsessions of Jorge Luis Borges, as well as the long
and distinguished line of Czech fantasists, Ajvaz's Other City --
his first novel to be translated into English -- is the emblem of
all the worlds we are blind to, being caught in our own ways of
seeing.
