London

£1.00

London is a city of disappearances and fallible memories. Alongside the contemporary city, of noise and celebrity, is that other city – of the dead, the unvoiced, the erased. This text brings to light the fugitive scraps, ragpicker’s bundles, faded newspaper cuttings and patterns in the dust.

‘A book full of richness, unexpected enticements, short sharp shocks and breathtaking writing’ Guardian

Welcome to the real, unauthorised London: the disappeared, the unapproved, the unvoiced, the mythical and the all-but forgotten. The perfect companion to the city.

‘Exhilarating, truly wonderful, a cavalcade of eloquent writing. London demands an anthology like this to remind us of the irascible quirkiness of its residents, and we have Sinclair to thank for marshalling such a perverse and ultimately pleasurable exercise’ Independent on Sunday
