Waterloocity Citywaterloo The Waterloo And City Line

This book is experimental and lovely. It treats the reader as an intelligent being, while presenting a lot of stuff - views of people, photographs, imagery as though it was run through a Brian Eno ambient track filled with guitars by My Bloody Valentine. People in the subway are observed as one-liners. "Sunglasses like the grill of a car". A man's perspective. A woman's perspective. Sexism at work. Internal thoughts. "Why's David's name before mine [in an e-mail sent from somebody]? Does she prefer him over me?"

A refreshing book, which one turns upside down and starts reading from the back flap having reached half of the book. Demanding and rewarding.
