Perhaps Bennett never stopped writing about America when he began City of Stairs. Both it and Blades bear the imprint of the wars of the 2000s, and both are concerned, on some level, with attempts to secure a peaceful, liberal, democratic world order. It’s a question more relevant than ever these days, and while these books might not show the way forward, they may show just why the project eventually came to grief.
