Through a kaleidoscope of expository forms, I Speak of the City
connects the realms of literature, architecture, music, popular
language, art, and public health to investigate the city in a variety of
contexts: as a living history textbook, as an expression of the state,
as a modernist capital, as a laboratory, and as language. Tenorio's
formal imagination allows the reader to revel in the free-flowing
richness of his narratives, opening startling new vistas onto the urban
experience.

From
art to city planning, from epidemiology to poetry, this book challenges
the conventional wisdom about both Mexico City and the
turn-of-the-century world to which it belonged. And by engaging directly
with the rise of modernism and the cultural experiences of such
personalities as Hart Crane, Mina Loy, and Diego Rivera, I Speak of the City will find an enthusiastic audience across the disciplines.
