Summary
‘Iain Sinclair’s twisty love-letter to Hackney … the book London’s most unusual borough deserves’ GQ
Hackney, That Rose-Red Empire is Iain Sinclair’s personal record of the area of north-east London where he has lived for forty years. It is a documentary fiction, seeking to capture the spirit of place, before Hackney succumbs to mendacious green papers, eco boasts, sponsored public art and the Olympic Park gnawing at its edges. It is a message in a bottle, chucked into the flood of the future.
