extraordinary writing, a poem to what was, to what was remembered wrongly. Not since the days of reading J.G. Ballard's Vermilion Cliffs, Drowned World, etc, have I been so bound to the pages by the words

reading Nghi Vo's The City in Glass is like reading a slowly twirling glass cabinet of memories and halfway dreams, listening to Eric Satie's Gnossiennes played by someone like Jean-Yves Thibaudet's piano spirit, poetic meditations, impressions and unexpected harmonies trilling like connections thru the echoes. In a less-gifted hand this would be too weird; here, it's like a truth unbound, unraveled. JG Ballard prose
