In Houses of Ravicka, the city’s comptroller, author of Regulating the Book of Regulations, seems to have lost a house. The result is a project unlike any other in American letters today, a fictional world that spans not only multiple books but different genres, even different art forms. As Ravicka has grown, so has Gladman’s project, spilling out from her fiction- Event Factory, The Ravickians, and Ana Patova Crosses a Bridge-into her nonfiction ( Calamities) and even visual art ( Prose Architectures).
