Reading time: 1 minute
June see's the release of Something City by Ellice Weaver, showing an exploration of modern day living though the lives of different people in an imagines place. The book is a landscape orientated collection of short stories that focuses on the interconnected lives of a group of people living in the titular city and features everything from hip young things, to prisoners in a minimum security prison to nudists!
Something City is an exploration of modern day living through representations of the lives of different groups of people in an imagined place. Segregated communities of young people, elders, fanatics, techies and the religious live side by side, interweaving and cohabiting in a city they build around themselves.
Through snapshots of each community, Ellice Weaver captures both the qualities that make different communities unique, but also what binds them together to make up the modern, multicultural cities that we exist in today. Beautifully composed pages introduce us to each group before we're taken on a short journey inside each of their worlds. Stunning artwork and wry, odd and moving stories come together to produce a book that is unique, vibrant and universal.
You can pre-order Something City from Avery Hill Publishing for £10.99, with Ellice Weaver signing and sketching in books ordered before the release on Saturday 17th June. Orders will ship week commencing 19th June.
