Recenzii

Publisher's description. From London's master psychogeographer and the author ofHackney, That Rose-Red Empire, comes a new adventure into the city's ancient and modern secrets. This is a living history of the edgelands and forgotten spaces surrounding London Overground: a portrait of the shifting, changing metropolis as seen from the 'Ginger Line'.
Sometimes dark, sometimes wry... For the aficionado, London Overground will deliver all the delights of Sinclair's edgy and hard-edged prose; for those who do not know his work it is an accessible starting point for one of the most rewarding oeuvres in 21st century literature
He is incapable of writing a dull paragraph
Sinclair breathes wondrous life into monstrous, man-made landscapes
If you are drawn to English that doesn't just sing, but sings the blues and does scat and rocks the joint, try Sinclair. His sentences deliver a rush like no one else's
Sinclair [is a] peerless London literary wandererand street-level cultural archaeologist...delirious, often hilariousurban palimpsest wherepin-sharp observation, cultural hauntings and offbeat memoirfuse in sentences that catch your breath like a lurid toxic sunset over Hackney Marshs
For my moneythemost crucial and most bar-adjusting voice currently resonating in the English language.... Those who aspire to understand what is happening in modern writing should start here
