London Overground - A Day's Walk Around the Ginger Line (Sinclair Iain)(Paperback)

Iain Sinclair explores modern London through a day''s hike around the London Overground route.The completion of the full circle of London Overground provides Iain Sinclair with a new path to walk the shifting territory of the capital. With thirty-three stations and thirty-five miles to tramp - plus inevitable and unforeseen detours and false steps - he embarks on a marathon circumnavigation at street level, tracking the necklace of garages, fish farms, bakeries, convenience cafés, cycle repair shops and Minder lock-ups which enclose inner London. ''He is incapable of writing a dull paragraph'' Scotland on Sunday''Sinclair breathes wondrous life into monstrous man-made landscapes'' Times Literary Supplement''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'' Washington Post
