Bringing together fiction from some of the city's most celebrated
writers, The Book of Liverpool traces the unique contours that
decades of social and economic change can impress on a city. Set
against key historical moments from the Second World War to the
Capital of Culture year, these stories question what 'belonging'
and 'home' mean in the Liverpudlian context, from the regenerated
city centre to satellite suburbs, from the sparring cathedrals to
the no-go concrete housing estates. Liverpool emerges in these
short stories as a city in constant flux: haunted by ghosts, buoyed
up by myths, and shifting with an ebb and flow like the Mersey
itself.
