About This Novel
This classic non-fiction work by the master of oral history Craig Taylor took 5 years and more than 200 interviews to tell the tragic and joyful stories told by 85 ordinary Londoners. "Londoners are the ordinary people you see." Like us, they are looking for and losing in the big city, praying and confused in the big city, gaining rewards in the big city, and being hurt by the big city. Writer Craig Taylor spent 5 years, day and night, traveling to every corner of London, selecting 85 ordinary people from more than 200 interviews. Among them, there are currency traders who have realized their professional ideals, lost and found office staff who are accustomed to all kinds of things in the world, plumbers who have been actors, as well as sanitation workers, taxi drivers, emergency paramedics, real estate agents, chefs, pilots, etc. These true stories of ordinary people, a mixture of sorrow and joy, constitute the ukiyo-e of all living beings in the city of London. Every word touches our hearts and resonates with us. "When a person is tired of London, he must be tired of life." However, only those who have lived in a big city will understand the complexity of it: love it, hate it, long for it, be tired of it, escape from it, or stay and continue living.
