Writer and photographer Andrew Losowsky captured the alluring and varied doorbells of Florence and then imagined the stories of those who might dwell within. Charming,
whimsical, and elegant, each story is a perfect match for its photo, balancing the old-world appeal of Florence and the contemporary, gritty realities of a modern city.
The book was born when Andrew posted photos of Florentine doorbells on the photo website Flickr.com, and filled in the captions with stories, inventing a whole
new genre that users of the site have dubbed flicktion. It went on to become a cult online hit, and to win the 2006 Lulu Blooker Prize for Fiction for books that began life on the internet.
Andrew Losowsky is an award-winning writer, editor and journalist whose stories have appeared in The Guardian, The Independent, The Wall Street Journal and The Times. This is his first fiction book.
