The city & the city

I read "the city and the city" by China Mieville (in english). An unbelievable good book; he describes a murder, in a city who is in fact two totally different cities sharing the same streets. Read it!
Ik las een boek van China Mieville: "the city and the city". Fantastisch. Ik weet niet of het is vertaald, zo ja: lees het.

Terrific drawing, and thanks for the book recommendation.

If you haven't read it, you might also enjoy Neil Gaiman's "Neverwhere," also about two levels of a city, London. It's one of my favourite books.

Tot ziens.

@ontheroad: thanks for visiting. I'll keep that book in mind, normally I read other stuff, but now and then you just want to be taken to fantastic worlds far far away.
