Visit to an Extinct City

“Visit to an Extinct City” holds a fresh, personal lens to a seldom-seen, venerable ghost-town and archaeological site. It casts a rueful glance at the folly and profundity of ‘historical reconstruction’ – it raises an eyebrow towards guidebooks, tourism and what we think we do when we travel abroad – and with both hands, unexpectedly, it bestows us with a kind of metaphysical vademecum.”
