The Man Booker longlisted Communion Town reveals the shadows and
sinister inhabitants of a city that never appears the same way
twice. On crowded streets, in the town squares and half-empty tower
blocks, the lonely and lost try to make a connection. A weary
gumshoe pounds the reeking sidewalks, seeking someone he knows he
will never find. Violence loiters in blind alleys, eager to embrace
the unsuspecting and the reckless. Lovers are doomed to follow
treacherous paths that were laid long before they first met. This
city is no ordinary place. Here, the underworld has surfaced;
dreams melt into reality and memories are imagined before they are
lived. Ghosts and monsters, refugees and travellers - the voices of
Communion Town clamour to tell the stories of the city, stories
that must be heard to be believed.
