A very clever idea: Take the best and most beloved books about a city, sift through them for the pithiest excerpts, and then compile it all into a single volume for literary-minded tourists. This is what the good folks at Oxygen Books in London have done with their city-Lit series. Thus far, they have editions for Dublin, London, and Paris. And, along with Hans Christian Anderson, Gertrude Stein, and dear dear Sparkle Hayter, my work (Time Was Soft There / Books, Baguettes, & Bedbugs) was selected. Proud I am, and hopeful their endeavour is a success. More about the city-Lit series *here*.
