Downriver by Sinclair Iain
The Thames may still flow through the heart of London, but life along its shores has dramatically changed. DOWNRIVER is a savage, satirical quest to understand how people's lives, a government's policies, and a legendary urban waterland conspire together in a boggling display of self-destruction.
Iain Sinclair has been a rare book dealer, parks gardener, and all-purposes labourer across East London. In the 1970s he ran Albion Village Press, publishing Brian Catling and Chris Torrance, as well as several volumes of his own poetry. More recently he has written a number of television films, including The Cardinal and the Corpse, made with Christopher Petit for Channel 4. His essays have appeared in the London Review of Books, Sight and Sound and Modern Painters. Downriver won the 1992 Encore Award for the year's best second novel and also the James Tait Black Memorial Award.
