Black Apples of Gower by Iain Sinclair
Iain Sinclair, the celebrated author, walks back along the blue-grey roads and the cliff-top paths of his childhood in south Wales, rediscovering the Gower peninsula.
Luxuriant prose, has a dark ascorbic bite, lingering on the tongue just as surely as it does in the mindJon Gower, Caught by the River. Black Apples of Gower fuses anecdote, memoir, biography, history, archaeology and geography in an essay on mortality and memory that sweeps like Rhossili Bay. But is is also a visit to this island of otherness, whose scents, sounds, flora and fauna accompany every step of the way, and there is not a page in which Mr Sinclair's prose is any less musical, rich or sharp than his ghost-guides finest poetry. Mark Griffiths, Country Life.
