Peruvian writer Jorge Díaz Untiveros has released *Ciudad de Lima*, a collection of short stories satirizing the characters, contradictions, and lifestyles of Lima. Untiveros suggests that Lima is not a cohesive whole, but rather a compilation of many cities, and that this fragmentation is what truly binds it together. He also discussed the evolving landscape of reading in the digital age and the influence of social media. The author touched upon economic support for writers and advocated for a merit-based approach to cultural management. This discussion took place following the publication of his book and was featured on Lima Gris. *Ciudad de Lima* offers a humorous and critical portrait of life in the Peruvian capital.
