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
