We Built this City

My current schedule leaves my Thursday mornings pressed for time. Today's book note is taken from B.S. Johnson's The Unfortunates a.k.a. a novel in a box. My UK edition has 27 sections with only the requirement that the first and last sections be read in that order and the other sections to be randomly read. Alternatively, if the reader has issues with random chaos, they may be permitted to be read in the order in which they were received. (Such reader should also check career choice to ensure they avoid physics.)

The novel begins: "But I know this city!" which feels appropriate to a lover of large cities around the world.
