Ben Aaronovitch: Wizards with police badges in the river of magic. London, gods and mixing genres
There’s no doubt about it: London is an evocative city, and many authors have used it as the setting for their work. But few have treated it with such dignity and importance as Ben Aaronovitch in his Rivers of London series, the Spanish translation of which has just been reprinted by Oz Editorial. With titles such as Moon Over Soho, Whispers Underground, Broken Homes and Foxglove Summer, he has turned the British capital into a place where elements of urban fantasy, magic, the thriller genre and detective fiction coexist harmoniously. The author, who has written for the legendary TV series Doctor Who, has made the city a living, supernatural setting, where diversity and magical multiculturalism come together. And all of this features a generous dose of humour, as a narrative tool. This is a unique opportunity to see this Sunday Times bestselling author in conversation with Sergi Viciana.
