Title: Ford hits his stride. Rate:****1/2
Review: Memoranda is the second part of the Well-Buitt-City trilogyand is a far better book than his predecessor.This time Ford uses the idea of Memory Palace to marvellous effect and the journey of Cley through Dracthton Below's mind is simply breathtaking.Memoranda is full of original ideas and abounds with invention and the characters are not as shallow as in The Physiognomy.Memoranda is at turns, humane, profound, weird, bizarre and hilariousy funny, less dark and more romantic than his predecessor and Ford's clear prose flows like a river, a joy to read.Memoranda is a kepper.
