Journeys Close to Home: Explorations of an Imagined City - Paperback
Description
by Nick Smillie (Author)
Sheffield, from a unique perspective. Everyone's city is different - an unsound construction of the mind, built from fragments of myths and memories, impressions and sensations.
This is a very human journey through the labyrinth of a city's stories and spaces, the shifts in society and history that shape home and family, the connections we create to give our lives meaning, the pain of nostalgia. The stories told are funny, heartbreaking, and thought-provoking, the social analysis of how we found ourselves in this mess, incisive.
No claims are made to objectivity - the real city is out of reach.
