Seller's Description
Product Information
Beginning
in his east London home many years before it will be invaded by the
Olympian machinery of global capitalism, Sinclair strikes out near and
far in search of the forgotten and erased. He travels from the mouth of
the Thames to Oxford, crosses Morecambe Bay in the footsteps of drowned
Chinese cockle pickers, and visits an Athenian, post-Olympics landscape
of vast and deserted stadia. It is a story of incident and accident,
of the curious meeting the bizarre. Sinclair writes of being a labourer
in Stratford, of Orwellian steps to ban a book launch in a library, of
the fundamentalist visions of J.G. Ballard. Stories of police raids and
mass expulsions jostle with accounts of failed grand projects: the
Millennium Dome, Thames Gateway, and numerous other half-completed,
ill-advised or abandoned structures. Burrowing under the perimeter
fence of the grandest of Grand Projects - the giant myth that is 2012's
London Olympics - Ghost Milk is a road map to a possible future as well
as Iain Sinclair's most powerful statement yet on the throwaway
impermanence of the present.
NOTE: The book is in good condition and all pages are good to read. There is a pen signature on the 2nd page of the book.
