Sandwolf posted:The City & The City has some unnatural aspects but I’m not sure I’d describe it as Sci-fi or fantasy. It’s more like Balkan speculative fiction. It's been a while since I read this one but I think the twist is that there are no supernatural aspects, it's just people lying to themselves. Sandwolf posted:I’m not trying to raise an argument but I had a completely different reading that they are not parallel earths, but merely two cities inhabiting the same place, and centuries of socially conditioning people to respect one vs the other is what creates the divide. But if Joe Schmoe from America goes to the place and walks around that border checkpoint he’s not entering alternate dimensions. I recall tourists had to do a period of conditioning themselves before they were allowed in.
