London has become the focus of a ferocious imaginative energy since
the rise of Thatcher. "The Making of London" analyses the body of
exceptional work by writers who have unconditionally committed
their writing to the many lives of a city undergoing complex
transformations. The book traces a major shift in the
representation of the capital city, from the postmodern obsession
with textuality, the shoring up of London's myths against a
declining social fabric, and an exuberant multicultural utopia, to
an anxious post-9/11 metropolis that has fallen apart. Is London
undone? Authors covered include Maureen Duffy, Michael Moorcock, J.
G. Ballard, Angela Carter, Iain Sinclair, Peter Ackroyd, Salman
Rushdie, Martin Amis, Ian McEwan, Hanif Kureishi, Will Self, Zadie
Smith and Monica Ali.
