The Last London by Iain Sinclair


 Wow, I haven't posted since the last week of June. I have not felt well and have been so busy just trying to stay functional and working and keeping house. Right now I need to be outside working in the garden but I am waiting till in the morning as it's been raining a bit. I am going to began again on the blog posting a Beloved Book for me. Iain Sinclair's The Last London. It's an incredible book, written so well and it has brought me so much joy during these really depressing times. I am so impressed with it that I am going to read all Sinclair's books. Today I am going to start a reread making notes. And then afterwards, write up a nice review. Pyschogeography is something I am very interested in and it has influenced all my work, writing, perspectives, and art. Place is everything. I don't think we can write adequate history without the context of geography in terms of country to the roads and buildings, to the mindscapes. Judging history and people outside these parameters is both shallow and incomplete.
