Publisher's Synopsis
'one of the singular literary accomplishments of our fraught historical moment' - Los Angeles Review of Books
Alan Moore creator of Watchmen, From Hell, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Lost Girls and V for Vendetta pens a grandiose tome about his hometown of Northampton, employing an extremely wide variety of styles, including a poem and a play. Fierce in its imagining and stupefying in its scope, Jerusalem is the tale of everything, told from a vanished gutter.
