Synopsis
This linked series of literary fantasy stories serves as history, travel brochure, encyclopedia, and guide to the personages major and minor of the marvelous, dangerous, and, above all, anarchic city of Ambergris. The inhabitants of this vast and ancient place include a missionary infatuated with an illusion; a painter tormented and ultimately inspired to genius by his secret crime; an autocratic composer who serves as both the cultural and the unofficial political ruler of the city; a writer trapped within and possibly driven insane by his own metafiction; and the city's original denizens, the gray-capped, enigmatic, and sporadically bloodthirsty mushroom dwellers.
