Description
‘Seamus O’Hanlon revives the ghosts of buildings past, the beautiful, the ugly and the forgotten. I’ve started looking at the streets of my hometown with renewed curiosity since reading this book.’ -Alice Garner
Come on a journey beyond the city’s beloved laneways and read the palimpsest that is Melbourne.
Seamus O’Hanlon charts the social and cultural consequences of globalisation, the rise and rise of Postmodern monoliths, and the recent resurgence of the CBD as a place to live, work and play.
