A Novel

By: Sam Thompson

Narrated by: Luke Daniels

AudioFile Best Voices - Fiction and Classics, 2014

The Man Booker long-listed novel explores how each of us conjures up our own city. Every city is made of stories: Stories that meet and diverge, stories of the commonplace and the strange, of love and crime, of ghosts and monsters. The iridescent, Man Booker long-listed Communion Town is reminiscent of David Mitchell's Ghostwritten and Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities, it is the story of a place that never looks the same way twice: A place imagined anew by each citizen who walks through the changing streets among voices half-heard, signs half-glimpsed and desires half-acknowledged. This is the story of a city.

Critic reviews

"Luke Daniels manages not only to capture each narrator's voice but also to give us the voices that would be created by that narrator.... It's a superb reading." (AudioFile)
