London Overground: A Day`s Walk Around the Ginger Line
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 – and 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 cafes, 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
