Iain Sinclair, the celebrated author and psycho-geographer, walks
back along the blue-grey roads and cliff-top paths of his childhood
in south Wales, rediscovering the Gower peninsula. Provoked by the
strange and enigmatic series of paintings Afal du Brogwyr (Black
Apple of Gower) made by the artist Ceri Richards in the 1950s,
Sinclair leaves behind the familiar "murky elsewheres" of his life
in Hackney, London, carrying an envelope of photographs and old
postcards, along with fragments of memory. He soon realises that a
series of walks over the same ground - Port Enyon Point to Worm's
Head have become significant waymarks in his life. His
recollections of a meeting with the poet Vernon Watkins, the art of
Richards and the poetry of Dylan Thomas lead him to his final
quest, the Paviland Cave where in 1823 human remains 36,000 years
old were discovered.
