Iain Sinclair

    11. červen 1943

    Iain Sinclair je britský spisovatel a filmař, jehož díla jsou hluboce zakořeněna v Londýně a psychogeografii. Jeho raná tvorba zahrnovala poezii a experimentální prózu, kde často proplétal eseje, fikci a poezii. Později se proslavil svými nebeletristickými díly, která se zabývají Londýnem a jeho skrytými zákoutími. Sinclairův styl je známý svou detailní observací, literárními rekuperacemi a jedinečným pohledem na městskou krajinu.

      Delving into the mythic figures from William Blake's work, the narrative explores the intertwining of contemporary life with legendary elements, creating a vivid urban landscape. The author’s distinctive prose and poetry construct a complex literary framework, inviting readers to navigate a metaphorical bridge suspended over myth and reality. Addressed to "the enemy," the text challenges perceptions and evokes the presence of lost tribes within the shadows of the city. This work stands out as a unique exploration of mythology and urban existence.
