description | In the literature of travel to foreign cities, writers’ travel diaries have always been a source of subjective witness and served as the basis for hybrid texts falling between the personal diary, essays and journalism. Ventanas de Manhattan by Antonio Muñoz Molina provides a particularly significant example of this kind of litterature, halfway between document and fiction.

Impressionistic flashes running through the most mysterious corners of the great city and chaotic encyclopedia of the city. |
