A New Statesman Book of the Year, 2021 ‘Follow Iain
Sinclair into the cloud jungles of Peru and emerge questioning all
that seemed so solid and immutable.’ Barry Miles From the
award-winning author of The Last London and Lights Out for the
Territory, a journey in the footsteps of our ancestors. Iain
Sinclair and his daughter travel through Peru, guided by – and in
reaction to – an ill-fated colonial expedition led by his
great-grandfather. The family history of a displaced Scottish
highlander fades into the brutal reality of a major land grab. The
historic thirst for gold and the establishment of sprawling coffee
plantations leave terrible wounds on virgin territory. In
Sinclair’s haunting prose, no place escapes its past, and nor can
we. ‘The Gold Machine is a trip, a psychoactive expedition
in compelling company.’ TLS
