Koto Y Yo - Tim Atkins - Bog

Koto Y Yo documents a year in the lives of a father
and daughter living in Poble Sec; a working class
barrio in Barcelona. Told in luminous poetic prose, the
interlinked stories - echoing the Platero Y Yo stories of
Juan Ramon Jimenez - detail the couple's adventures
and encounters as they wander around the streets.
The pages are inhabited by the plumbers,
hairdressers, bakers, traveling knife grinders,
mechanics, tobacconists, waiters, postmen, mangy
cats, and itinerant musicians who populate the
neighborhood.
