>From his latest, "London Orbital", (a much appreciated Christmas present),
Sinclair in description of the King George VI Reservoir, near Staines:

"concrete fence posts dividing the unwalked reservoir fringe from the lush
yellow slopes of the embankment.  It's like working your way around a
Dorset earthwork - and still being in sight of Heathrow.  Thomas Hardy or
John Cooper Powys cohabiting with J.G. Ballard and Thomas Pynchon"


p. 240 of the Penguin paperback
