| Description: | Select Guide Rating Here is a delirious gathering of some of the writers, living and dead, who haunt Iain Sinclair and who inform his own London books. A party at the end of time where familiar ghosts line up to tell their overlapping stories. My Favourite London Devils is a fragmented autobiography laid out through a series of portraits as picaresque as John Aubrey''s Brief Lives. Sinclair has assembled an accidental novel in the form of a dictionary of unreliable memories, passionate critiques and interviews with the London writers he has met or found secondhand in street markets and libraries. |
