About This Item
Hamish Hamilton for Penguin, London 2009. 24.0 x 16.0cms, 582pp, b/w illusts, very good hardback & dustwrapper This is 'a documentary fiction, seeking to capture the spirit of place, before Hackney succumbs to mendacious gren papers, eco boasts, sponsored public art and the Olympic Park gnawing at its edges... Once an Arcadian suburb of grand house, orchards and conservatories, [it] declined into a zone of asylums, hospitals and dirty industry... Now the Olympics, a final attempt to clamp down on a renegade spirit, seeks to complete the process: erasure disguised as 'progress''.
