NP- Iain Sinclair: opinions?

[Tom Beshear]

A good working knowledge of London helps -- Sinclair's writing is rooted in 
its geography. His work perhaps doesn't travel well. I had toured the 
Olympic stadium site and environs and that was useful when I read Ghost 
Milk; also, J.G. Ballard hovers like a guardian angel over that book and 
knowing his work guided me.
