Living with Buildings by Iain Sinclair
One of Britain's finest writers embarks on a journey to explore the relationship between our health and the buildings that surround us.
A remarkable book; surprisingly gripping and often very moving.. at once disorientating and illuminating. * Robert Macfarlane *
One of Iain Sinclair's best books ... His walks are described with pithy lyricism. His moving accounts of friends and their complicated relationship to housing estates, hospitals and ancient rural sites, describe our attempts to remain healthy and humane in increasingly hostile environments * New Statesman Books of the Year *
Iain Sinclair feeds us a rich diet of shrewd insights ... He leaves you gasping with the punch and pungency of his images * Observer *
