A brilliant London novel, which together with London Orbital, Lights Out For The Territory and White Chappell, Scarlet Tracings confirm Sinclair as one of the most original and stimulating commentators on London.

\"Crazy, dangerous, prophetic\" Angela Carter

In DOWNRIVER, Iain Sinclair traces the ruins of Margaret Thatcher's reign through the lens of a fictional film crew that has been hired to make a documentary about what's left of London's river life. The Thames may still flow through the heart of the capital, but life along its shores has changed dramatically.

DOWNRIVER is a savage, satirical quest to understand how people's lives, a government's policies and a legendary waterland conspire together in a boggling display of self-destruction.
