Book description
'A book about London; in other words, a book about everything' Peter
Ackroyd, The Times
Walking the streets of London, Iain Sinclair traces nine routes
across the territory of the capital. Connecting people and places,
redrawing boundaries both ancient and modern, reading obscure signs
and finding hidden patterns, Sinclair creates a fluid snapshot of the
city. In LIGHTS OUT FOR THE TERRITORY he gives us a daring,
provocative, enlightening, disturbing and utterly unique picture of
modern urban life. And in the process he reveals the dark underbelly
of a London many of us did not know existed.
Iain Sinclair's books include LONDON ORBITAL, DOWNRIVER (James Tait
Black Memorial Prize and the Encore Award), and WHITE CHAPPELL, SCARLET
TRACINGS. He lives in Hackney, East London.
