American Smoke

[James Kyllo]

Went to the launch of this:
http://www.theguardian.com/books/2013/nov/04/iain-sinclair-american-smoke-review
this evening - sounds pretty marvellous.  As it says on the dust
jacket:

"his first full engagement with the memory-filled landscapes of the
American Beats and their fellow travellers, echoes as always in the
mythologies of London, through which so many of them also passed.

In a book filled with bad journeys and fated decisions, this is a
delirious expedition in the footsteps of Malcolm Lowry, Charles Olson,
Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, Gary Snyder and more, heated by
obsession (the Old West, volcanoes, Mexico) and enlivened by false
memories, broken reports and strange adventures"
