Through a kaleidoscope of expository forms, \u003ci\u003eI Speak of the City\u003c\/i\u003e connects the realms of literature, architecture, music, popular language, art, and public health to investigate the city in a variety of contexts: as a living history textbook, as an expression of the state, as a modernist capital, as a laboratory, and as language. Tenorio's formal imagination allows the reader to revel in the free-flowing richness of his narratives, opening startling new vistas onto the urban experience. From art to city planning, from epidemiology to poetry, this book challenges the conventional wisdom about both Mexico City and the turn-of-the-century world to which it belonged. And by engaging directly with the rise of modernism and the cultural experiences of such personalities as Hart Crane, Mina Loy, and Diego Rivera, \u003ci\u003eI Speak of the City\u003c\/i\u003e will find an enthusiastic audience across the disciplines. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMauricio Tenorio-Trillo\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of history at the University of Chicago, and associate professor at the Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas, Mexico City.
