I'm familiar with a lot of the history of U.S. cities, but the buildings described in that novel, and the infrastructure they support, was just fascinating to me.I think it's interesting that both the Rivers of London series and the Lovecraft Country books in the U.S. center Black characters and Black stories, with what reads to me as real sympathy and empathy and a good deal of actual research (especially in the Lovecraft Country novels) while being written by White authors. I think they both appear to be doing a good job of it, but I wonder what the books would have been like if they were written by Black authors.</blockquote>
