The Other City by Michal Ajvaz is a fascinating ode to Prague, which explores the idea that somewhere in the city there is an entrance to another realm. This invisible, other Prague, is a bizarre, dream-like place, populated with ghosts, eccentric creatures, talking animals and glass statues, which can be entered at night-time through tiny doors, alleys or library corridors. It is a place where secret passages open up below our feet, libraries turn into jungles, and ocean waves leap behind our windows.
