What Makes a City

What Is It That Makes Up a City? provides the reader with an intelligent perspective on the strange culture of our times and a series of adventures through which we explore universal human problems. Family, education, the media, popular culture, technology, alienation, financial power or the lack thereof … These are among the most prominent components of the eight stories which comprise this book, in which characters struggle-sometimes in despair, but usually with a sense of humor-to understand or at least accept their place in a world that often makes no sense.
