City-Lit: A New Twist on The Barcelona Guidebook

February 16, 2010 in Press by admin | No comments

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Thinking of what to read on your next trip to Barcelona?

Maybe you like a good crime story, thriller, horror or historical romance? Perhaps you’ll simply pack another bulky guidebook to help you find the hidden gems as you explore the city.

Well, how about this? A new kind of fiction known as city-lit described as a contemporary collection of short stories inspired by Barcelona, its history, its legends and its people that simultaneously provides visitors with well researched information on sights to see, backstreet bars to try and places to eat.

Jeremy Holland, American author of ‘…from Barcelona: Stories Behind The City’ and a Barcelona resident since 2002 says, “The idea for ‘city-lit’ came about because I wanted something that would connect with visitors in a meaningful way. Barcelona is a rich, diverse and exciting place and I wanted to write something that offers a fresh literary perspective on the city, while fulfilling the interested visitor’s desire for information about places to go and things to see.”

Jeremy is already penning volume 2 and his publisher will be producing more “city-lit” guides over the next year.

“…from Barcelona: Stories Behind The City Volume 1″ ISBN 1905430744 by Jeremy Holland is available to buy from Amazon and all good bookshops now.
