OTHER COMMENTS ON MR SINCLAIR'S WORK:

My Favourite London Devils:

"In these rollicking vignettes of London literary men Sinclair unearths the corpses of forgotten writers, breathing life back into them and into their dusty works."
— The Irish Times

"It (Burley Fisher Books) was packed for the recent launch of Sinclair’s new book My Favourite London Devils, a collection of essays dedicated to authors who, like himself, found their muse in London. Written over the past decade and a half, these pieces were recovered from storage and revised by Sinclair. Read together, they prove yet again that London is an inexhaustible theme, and that Sinclair’s take on it never stands still, mirroring the city in flux."
— Times Literary Supplement

After thinking he was done with London, or London with him, Iain Sinclair (in company with his daughter Farne) followed his great-grandfather into the low jungle around the headwaters of the Amazon. The resulting journey has been published by Oneworld as The Gold Machine: In the Tracks of the Mule Dancers. He is now working on a block of three subterranean prose-poetry projects, of which Fifty Catacomb Saints is the second. The first, Fever Hammers, has been published by Face Press.

His work incorporates drawing, painting, photography, collage, found objects, digital art and sculpture. He has published many graphic novels, including Black Dog: The Dreams of Paul Nash (a 14-18 Now Foundation/Imperial War Museum/LICAF commission) and Cages, which was reissued in 2016 with an introduction by Terry Gilliam. He has also collaborated with Neil Gaiman, Richard Dawkins, Heston Blumenthal, Ray Bradbury, David Almond and John Cale. He has produced book and album covers for Stephen King, Roy Harper, Alice Cooper, Rolling Stones and Alan Moore, amongst many others.

Chris McCabe’s work spans artforms and genres including poetry, fiction, non-fiction, drama and visual art. His work has been shortlisted for the Ted Hughes Award and the Republic of Consciousness Prize. His first novel, Dedalus, is a sequel to Ulysses; his second, Mud, is a version of the legend of Orpheus and Eurydice, set beneath Hampstead Heath. He is working on an epic series of psychogeographical books documenting the lost poets buried in London’s Victorian cemeteries.
