Iain Sinclair, Lights Out for the Territory Review

Overall Rating

Lights Out is a book that deals with the way the city of London should be read. The book offers a problem that only Sinclair can read the city, because he has the right knowledge. However, his reading of London is challenging and clever, especially in the use of puns as R.D. Laine, etc. I have to admit Sinclair's clever way of trying to read what has been erased, modified, and transformed. Seeing London, for Sinclair, is recreating it.
