The Man Booker longlisted Communion Town reveals the shadows & sinister inhabitants of a city that never appears the same way twice. On crowded streets, in the town squares & half-empty tower blocks, the lonely & 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 & 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 & memories are imagined before they are lived. Ghosts & monsters, refugees & travellers
- the voices of Communion Town clamour to tell the stories of the city, stories that must be heard to be believed.
