Written on the City

Have you ever wondered about those messages stenciled on the sidewalk? They always stir my curiosity. Or the random phrase spray painted on some wall? I love you, it says. I know it's not meant for me, or is it? Written on the City shows you these messages, a glorious crowd of them from Madrid, Sofia, San Francisco, Montevideo, London, so many more. Bottom line: Do you ever feel alone in your teeming city? If so, this book is for you. It's for me, too, because it connects me and you, not just to our cities, no, it'll send you around the world. Every time I dip into the book or visit the website that began it all, I know I'm part of world conversation, on the down low, up from the streets. It's a beautiful book, too.
