{"product_id":"books-dining-on-stones-by-iain-sinclair","title":"Dining on Stones","description":"Dining on Stones is Iain Sinclair's sharp, edgy mystery of London and its environs  Andrew Norton, poet, visionary and hack, is handed a mysterious package that sees him quit London and head out along the A13 on an as yet undefined quest. Holing up in a roadside hotel, unable to make sense of his search, he is haunted by ghosts: of the dead and the not-so dead; demanding wives and ex-wives; East End gangsters; even competing versions of himself. Shifting from Hackney to Hastings and all places in-between, while dissecting a man's fractured psyche piece by piece, Dining on Stones is a puzzle and a quest - for both writer and reader.  'Exhilarating, wonderfully funny, greatly unsettling - Sinclair on top form'  Daily Telegraph  'Prose of almost incantatory power, cut with Chandleresque pithiness'  Sunday Times  'Spectacular: the work of a man with the power to see things as they are, and magnify that vision with a clarity that is at once hallucinatory and forensic'  Independent on Sunday  Iain Sinclair is the author of Downriver (winner of the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and the Encore Award); Landor's Tower; White Chappell, Scarlet Tracings; Lights Out for the Territory; Lud Heat; Rodinsky's Room (with Rachel Lichtenstein); Radon Daughters; London Orbital, Dining on Stones, Hackney, that Rose-Red Empire and Ghost Milk. He is also the editor of London: City of Disappearances.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53508406214929,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780141014821.jpg?v=1778146298","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-dining-on-stones-by-iain-sinclair","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
