The City Falls

By Hope Yang

"In the end, the City falls. But before that, well, before that there was everything else." You've met an old woman on the train, somewhere between senile and profound, and over the next few hours, she recounts the story of her childhood to you--her story of a city that once floated in the sky. Allegedly. In the summer of 1945, eleven-year-old River and friends are happy to bask in their city--a city that tells secrets, gives gifts, and a city where the dead are never seen. Except this city, the City, is showing signs of disturbing change. Told in River's own voice, The City Falls relates her attempts to come to terms with her rapidly falling world. As River strives to make sense of unforeseen sicknesses and questions with no answers, you, too, are invited to parse through her story.
