1. A classic non-fiction work by the master of oral history Craig Taylor, dedicated to all those who live, are confused, struggle, struggle, and strive in big cities!
2. A word-of-mouth work that has resonated strongly with people living in major cities around the world, and has been highly praised by more than a hundred media including the New York Times, The Times, and The Guardian.
3. It took 5 years, more than 200 interviews, and 85 sad and happy stories told by ordinary Londoners. Currency traders, lost and found clerks, plumbers, sanitation workers, taxi drivers, emergency paramedics, real estate agents, chefs... Their stories intertwined with dreams and tears are also your story: love this city, hate this city, escape from this city, long for this city.
4. As long as you are interested in people themselves, even if you don't necessarily live in London, you should read this book.
5. Truly restore the narration of every ordinary person. The real life experiences of these ordinary people make you feel the voices and stories coming in. They are neither "official voices" nor expert opinions, but lively and popular narrations, as if London is telling its own story, giving the book a unique authentic charm of oral history.
6. The most fair and complete presentation of a city. The beauty, charm, ugliness and filth of the city are all clearly visible in this book. Diversity and triviality coexist. This is a unique London that makes people love to hate it.
