City by James Roy | Book Trailer

City by James Roy | Book Trailer | Information Literacy Tools | Scoop.it
"Like Town, this is another collection of short stories. But as well as being set in a different kind of environment, the ways in which the characters connect in City are different too.
The thing is that in a country town, everyone thinks they know everyone else, whereas people who live in cities will happily drive for an hour to have coffee with a friend, but won’t know the name of the lady who lives upstairs.
"And since 90 percent of us live in cities, I thought that this idea was worth thinking about." JAMES ROY

Hi Karen and thanks for following my scoop. I see that you are interested in content curation, too. I'm currently editing the latest issue of Collected magazine, the flagship publication of SLANZA, so thought I'd give you a heads up that it's due out in the next week or two. I will attempt to scoop it - but I seem to remember that the format gave me a few problems last time. Let me know if you'd like more info.
