Cities are complex and dynamic spaces that have captured the imagination of writers for centuries. From the sprawling metropolises of the 19th century to the globalized cities of the 21st century, urban spaces have served as a backdrop for countless stories, poems, and plays.

Writing the Global City is a groundbreaking work that explores the literary representations of urban spaces. Through in-depth analysis of novels, poems, and plays, the book examines how writers have captured the essence of cities and their impact on human experience.

The book is divided into three sections, each of which focuses on a different aspect of urban literature. The first section, "The City as a Place of Possibility," explores how writers have depicted cities as places of opportunity and renewal. The second section, "The City as a Place of Conflict," examines how writers have captured the tensions and inequalities that exist within urban spaces. The third section, "The City as a Place of Transformation," explores how writers have used urban settings to explore the ways in which cities can shape and change human lives.
