Abstract

London Orbital est le récit d’une exploration méthodique menée le long de la M25, l’autoroute qui ceinture le Grand Londres. Cette construction gigantesque héritée de l’ère Thatcher a radicalement changé le paysage de la capitale britannique et de sa périphérie. En parcourant à pied l’ensemble de son tracé, Iain Sinclair collecte et raconte la multitude d’histoires qui lui sont liées. Il décrit, le long de sa déambulation poétique, les parkings, les stations-service, les supermarchés et les banlieues-dortoirs, mais aussi les champs et les décharges, cherchant les traces de présences disparues et de cultes anciens, de lieux qui ouvrent sur d’autres lieux. Roman colossal qui revisite tous les mythes anglais et la construction d’un inconscient collectif après le capitalisme galopant, London orbital révèle la psychogéographie d’une métropole tentaculaire.

Abstract

Iain Sinclair sets out to map the vast stretch of urban settlement outside London bounded by the M25. His journeys uncover a history of forgotten villages, suburban utopias and hellish asylums, now transformed into upmarket housing, all the while walking a disappearing landscape.

Abstract

In 1841 the poet John Clare fled an asylum in Epping Forest and walked eighty miles to his home in Northborough. He was searching for his lost love, Mary Joyce - a woman three years dead ... In 2000 Iain Sinclair set out to recreate Clare's walk away from madness. He wanted to understand his bond with the poet and escape the gravity of his London obsessions. Accompanied on this journey by his wife Anna (who shares a connection with Clare), the artist Brian Catling and magus Alan Moore - as well as a host of literary ghosts, both visionary and romantic - Sinclair's quest for Clare becomes an investigation into madness, sanity and the nature of the poet's muse.

Abstract

Combines a sort of spiritual inquest into the Whitechapel Ripper murders and the dark side of the late Victorian imagination with another plot thread, done in hectic picaresque, of a posse of seedy book dealers hot on the trail of obscure rarities of that period.
