The Book of Leeds
by M. Y. Alam, Tony Harrison, David Peace, Jeremy Dyson, Martyn Bedford, Andrea Semple, Ian Duhig, and Susan Everett
Published 26 October 2006
Bringing together fiction from some of the city's most celebrated writers, The Book of Leeds traces the unique contours that fifty years of social and economic change can impress on a city. These are stories that take place at oblique angles to the larger events in the city's history, or against wider currents that have shaped the social and cultural landscape of today's Leeds: a modern city with both problems and promise.
