Contemporary writers such as Peter Ackroyd, J.G. Ballard, John
King, Ian McEwan, Will Self, Iain Sinclair and Zadie Smith have
been registering the changes to the social and cultural London
landscape for years. This volume brings together their vivid
representations of the capital. Uniting the readings are themes
such as relationship between the country and the city; the capacity
of satirical forms to encompass the 'real London'; spatio-temporal
transformations and emergences; the relationship between
multiculturalism and universalism; the underground as the spatial
equivalent of London's unconsciousness and the suburbs as the
frontier of the future. The volume creates a framework for new
approaches to the representation of London required by the
unprecedented social uncertainties of recent years: an invaluable
contribution to studies of contemporary writing about London.
