Marseille Mix describes the city of Marseille, its culture, buildings,
gastronomy, cinematic images, history, planning, language, music,
detective stories, criminology. These aspects of the city interrelate
and overlap, to create a complex ever shifting image. In seven chapters
(in reference to the seven hills surrounding Marseille and the seven
seas to the south) the book uses various forms of writing - essay,
narrative, description, list, recipe, glossary, conversation - to
examine the city and investigate its defining mix.
