This is an exceptionally beautiful book, alternating expertly between the flaneur's quizzical intelligence and pure lyric. A mastery of pace has arranged the whole: where we see a ripple of change at every line yet every one is leisurely and contenting. Somehow the author has, by moving at exactly the same speed as the metropolitan vortex, managed to catch its glittering psychological possibilities and reduce them to a pattern. - Andrew Duncan

... breathtaking and very thrilling...
