Sinopsis

Every place has it stories. But in some places those stories getáforgotten and distorted, even tarmacked and concreted over. Thisáis nowhere more true than in Milton Keynes, where the opinionsáof those who have never been to the place, or who have neveráventured beyond its traffic grid, are repeatedly rolled out in theámedia: &lsquo,it all looks the same&rsquo,, &lsquo,a dystopian urban sprawl&rsquo,, &lsquo,concreteácow culture&rsquo,.Writer, walker and mythogeographer Phil Smith has walkedáMilton Keynes to find some of its missing stories: stories of theáold, even ancient, places within the modern city, stories of theáunusual geography of ritual spaces awaiting new processions andáservices, stories of the forest hidden within the houses. In ',The MKáMyth', he has used these rarely told stories and less well-knownáspaces as the backdrop to an original novel that gives MiltonKeynes a new myth of itself.',The MK Myth', is a novel for our decaying, digital times that willámake sense to readers anywhere. Pursuing its central character, K,áa marketing executive who falls out of the comforting ambition ofáher everyday life, The MK Myth takes us on a precarious journeyáthrough a city in transition, encountering its extraordinaryácharacters as they navigate a returning past and daunting future.Uniquely, readers can follow, not only from the comfort of theirásofas, but also by taking the book out into the streets, alleys, pathsáand woods, walking or cycling the same journey as K and sharingáin her uncovering of the hidden and emerging MK.Make it your (mis)guide to a remarkable and unique city. Feel theástories under, in and through your feet. Become the myth.
