Items related to Downriver
Ian Sinclair's award winning Downriver has been self-abridged to eight sections totaling 64 minutes of trademark bulletproof prose, read by the author. Each section is interspersed with brief 'audio atmospheres' recorded at suitable London locations and processed by reknowned non-musician Bruce Gilbert (Wire / Dome). This CD documents Sinclair's readings, which have established their own cult audience and have always accompanied the publication of a new book as 'closure' for the writer

Review:
The Thames runs through Downriver like a great, wet wound. This is a work of conspicuous and glorious ill-humour. Something is happening in this text that makes it necessary to go on (Angela Carter London Review of Books)
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 (Guardian)
