 Literary Encyclopedia: Sinclair, Iain
More nightmarish than ever in its visions of an alternate, wasted London and the fractured psyches of its inhabitants, the novel extends Downriver's critical engagement with contemporary political reality, while also revelling in its own dazzling and vertiginous play with language, mixing the archaic with the colloquial, the poetic with the streetwise.
In a marked departure, this work was primarily set, not in London, but on the borders of Wales, his birthplace.
By contrast, Sinclair's latest work, London Orbital (2002), both returned to familiar territory and provided itself with a clear structure in its narration of a walk around the M25, London's orbital motorway.
