«City» is the literary fiction novel by Alessandro Baricco, published by Gallimard in paperback format, with 486 pages, in French.
In City, Baricco imagines an abstract city, not a concrete place, and structures the novel as a map through which characters who are streets move: a barber who cuts hair for free on Thursdays, a giant, a mute, the boy Gould and the girl Shatzy Shell. Among its neighbourhoods, a boxing story and a western coexist.
The novel is part of Gallimard's Folio collection; it originally appeared in 1999.
For readers of contemporary literary fiction who enjoy fragmentary structures and ensemble characters.
Alessandro Baricco is an Italian writer, director and performer. His novels have been translated into a number of languages.
