Imagining Venice

You’ve been to Venice, and loved it, or you’re going soon, and you’re thinking that what you need is to sample, or wallow in, some novels and films set in this most fascinating and varied of cities. Well, this is the book for you. It begins with a darn comprehensive list of the novels that have been set in Venice, followed by my reviews of the ones that I’ve read, which number well over 100. Then there are my reviews of 50-odd films that have set in Venice, including TV films and series. Here, for the sake of completeness, I’ve also reported on some films I’ve only heard or read about. Both sections are fascinatingly varied, genre-wise. The books include science fiction, young adult fiction and crime novels, and the films include porn, tacky rom-coms and giallo. It’s all here! This is a collected, reformatted, amended, and portable version of the Venice-related pages on this website as of 2011.

An extensive survey of the films set and made in Venice, from a voyage up the Grand Canal shot in 1896 through classics like Summertime, Death in Venice and Don’t Look Now, to tosh like The Tourist. Includes several entries and a (heavily edited) essay written by me.
