Summary

The City-State of Tligol is ruled by dictators, holds monthly public executions and is haunted by a benign, fishing, giant. The perfect place for a city break, just as long as you don't want to leave. Ever.

Getting by in Tligolian Summary

Getting by in Tligolian by Roppotucha Greenberg

Language has its own relationship to time. When Jennifer falls for Sam at his execution, she doesn't immediately realise that she can still find and live with him; but the city of Tligol has trains that will take you anywhere, including your own past, just as long as you don't leave the city. Jennifer rides the trains, loops around in time and sets an unplanned series of events in motion. For lovers of The City and The City... and Hotel California!
