I have a minor obsession with Iain Sinclair too, but have only read a couple of his books (Lights Out For the Territory and the Whitechapel one, possibly one more but I can't remember). I only heard about him (since I'm in the US, and he's really not much known here, even now, I'd say) because I discovered the novels of Derek Raymond in the mid-90s and went on a bender reading everything I could find by and about him. Though it's not his best book, I think, I am sure you have already read THE CRUST ON ITS UPPERS. But I'm going to get all the other Sinclair ones now, and also HANGOVER SQUARE which I'd never heard of but sounds exactly my kind of thing. Thanks for the recommendations.

Very well written; it is wonderful to read passion for an author's books so well expressed. Okay, enough of praising you now;the link to the londonist is broken, although I can cut the url from the broken one and get there. That interview is certainly very useful, especially the part about structure & plot (although I'm not sure where I've read that, I've definitely seen it before. I'm not too big a fan of Moorcock though, his works are too...convenient? I need to read his earlier work, rather than the later stuff before I discard him. Okay, I'll stop rambling now!
