![]() The book is a continuation of a short story featured in Jemisin's book of short stories, 'How Long 'Til Black Future Month” titled 'The City Born Great.” After gestating for hundreds of years, the city of New York has just been born. 'The City We Became” kicks off the Great Cities trilogy, and it offers quite the kick indeed. Jemisin takes this idea and runs with it in her newest book, 'The City We Became.” It is made up of the people who make the city home, the many voices found within, the hodgepodge of cultures and their respective expressions, its architecture, arts, cuisine and history, just to name a few pieces of what makes a city feel alive to me. ![]() So what do I mean by the city being alive exactly? Many of the cities I've visited have its own rhythm, or heartbeat if you will. ![]() Have you ever found yourself in one of the great cities of the world, either here or abroad, and felt as if the city itself was somehow alive? I know I have. ![]()
