London, a city of constant transition, transaction, translation. London does not exist; London is a language without a place and it is the aphasic city; it's the mother of all languages. Lucifer Over London is an anthology of nine narrative essays written by international prize-winning authors. It is a version of London as seen from the immigrants of recent migrations, of deportations to come, from those who create London even as they contradict it. London is transit and tremor, a number of contiguous realities, some touching and many denying each other; it is the stateless language and the aphasic city, the mother of all tongues. London is perhaps the fifth Italian city, perhaps it does not exist but it is where we will live this century of ours.
