Beautifully written, this memoir (fiction/prose-poem?) of a city and one of the greatest writers that city has ever produced, is both a study in the obsessive cataloguing of facts, images, memories and a powerful exploration of the ways in which we write and are written by our environment. Carson writes Belfast just as Belfast writes Carson. A wonderful, stunning, powerful read.
