London,
the great European city out of Europe, the Western metropolis
with
a Muslim mayor: capital of a Disunited Kingdom, epicentre of a
fragmented
Europe and of a world in transit. London, a brutalist jungle
beyond
the Calais Jungle, a mix of migratory fluxes old and new, far
and
near: multicultural and monolingual, shaken but not stirred, London
is
a place of refuge and refusal.
The writers invited to Babel are true
Londoners: Ma
Jian and Xiaolu
