Hello everyone!!

For this month's Left Page we turn back to China Miéville, in a weird and fascinating book about detective stories, borders, and violence, it is The City and the City!

In this episode we dive into the place of these cities, both fictionally and the real-world cultures they interact with and are a part of; we consider the detective narrative and how it interacts with this story, and the inherent violence to sustaining and upholding borders!

Enjoy!

And please support our Patreon if you can and are interested in early episodes and the upcoming Here Be Extras!
