Critical reception
On its original publication in the USA Kirkus Review found: "The conglomerate that makes up a big city, from aboriginal to white, evil to good, and youth to age, has a sense of panorama, always colored by the Big Smoke, which is seen and recorded with observant detail."[2]
Notes
- Dedication: For Ruth[1]

gollark: But that's not helpful if nobody uses it.
gollark: I mean, if by "hub" you mean "online list of participating servers and modpacks", that would work fine.
