Dining on Stones is Iain Sinclair's sharp, edgy mystery of London
and its environs Andrew Norton, poet, visionary and hack, is handed
a mysterious package that sees him quit London and head out along
the A13 on an as yet undefined quest. Holing up in a roadside
hotel, unable to make sense of his search, he is haunted by ghosts:
of the dead and the not-so dead; demanding wives and ex-wives; East
End gangsters; even competing versions of himself. Shifting from
Hackney to Hastings and all places in-between, while dissecting a
man's fractured psyche piece by piece, Dining on Stones is a puzzle
and a quest - for both writer and reader. 'Exhilarating,
wonderfully funny, greatly unsettling - Sinclair on top form' Daily
Telegraph 'Prose of almost incantatory power, cut with
Chandleresque pithiness' Sunday Times 'Spectacular: the work of a
man with the power to see things as they are, and magnify that
vision with a clarity that is at once hallucinatory and forensic'
Independent on Sunday Iain Sinclair is the author of Downriver
(winner of the James Tait Black Memorial Prize and the Encore
Award); Landor's Tower; White Chappell, Scarlet Tracings; Lights
Out for the Territory; Lud Heat; Rodinsky's Room (with Rachel
Lichtenstein); Radon Daughters; London Orbital, Dining on Stones,
Hackney, that Rose-Red Empire and Ghost Milk. He is also the editor
of London: City of Disappearances.
