From crimes of heart and crimes of violence, A CITY EQUAL TO MY DESIREeffortlessly guides you through the narrows of human existence in all itsforms. In this selection of new stories, James Sallis, author of theacclaimed Lew Griffin series of detective novels, both entertains andengages the mind with stories that will linger in memory long after they’vebeen experienced. 'Sallis wants to take your experience of the world, mutateit to the edge of recognition, and then deliver it back before your eyeslike a coin pulled from behind your earlobe. And in this way, he makes yousee and feel, all over again, the meaning, the beauty-and, pointedlysometimes, the horror-of being human.' Jack O’Connell from his introduction 3
