Soft City is the first book written by Jonathan Raban, and published by The Harvill Press in 1974.

Synopsis

Soft City records one man's attempt to plot a course through the urban labyrinth. Holding up a revealing mirror to the modern city, it is used as the locale for a demanding and expressive personal drama.

Jonathan Raban’s soft city is the malleable material from which identity is formed. “It

invites you to remake it, to consolidate it into an shape you can live in . . . Decide who

you are, and the city will again assume a fixed form around you.” This soft city is the

mythic city, where illusion, dream, aspiration, and nightmare are all fixed into place; it

comes into focus as it is passed through and acted upon by an individual or a collective.
