<p><b><i>Downriver </i>is a brilliant London novel by its foremost chronicler, Iain Sinclair.<br><br>WINNER OF THE ENCORE AWARD AND THE JAMES TAIT BLACK MEMORIAL PRIZE</b><br><br>The Thames runs through <i>Downriver </i>like an open wound, draining the pain and filth of London and its mercurial inhabitants. Commissioned to document the shifting embankments of industry and rampant property speculation, a film crew of magpie scavengers, high-rent lowlife, broken criminals and reborn lunatics picks over the rivers detritus. They examine the wound, hoping to expose the cause of the city''s affliction . . .<br><br>''Remarkable: part apocalyptic documentary, part moth-eaten ghost story, part detective story. Inventive and stylish, Sinclair is one of the most interesting of contemporary novelists'' <i>Sunday Times</i><br><br>''One of those idiosyncratic literary texts that revivify the language, so darn quotable as to be the reader''s delight and the reviewer''s nightmare'' <i>Guardian<br><br
