The Book of Tbilisi: A City in Short Fiction
Tbilisi is the largest city and capital of Georgia with a population of more than 1.5 million people. We will bring ten unique short stories from this overwhelming, vibrant, capital city to English-reading audiences in the next installation of our popular Reading the City series. Founded in the 5th century, Tbilisi is located at the crossroads of Europe and Asia which has often made this city a point of contention between various rival empires throughout history, reflected in the architecture of the city today which is a mix of Middle Eastern, Art Nouveau, Stalinist and Modernism. A city defined by a complex history of foreign dominance and control, independence and a melting pot of different ethnic groups, which has defined Tbilisi and its landscape to this day. Comma are very excited to bring a host of short stories from this city, in translation, to a new audience.
