Synopsis:

Twenty-five writers, twenty-five different perspectives on the rapidly changing London Borough of Hackney.

Featuring work from: Lee Rourke, Gareth E.Rees, Siddhartha Bose, Molly Naylor, Sam Berkson, Gary Budden, Kit Caless, Gavin James Bower and more.

Review: "Reaches the parts of Hackney that Iain Sinclair doesn't reach." --Stewart Home, author of Down and out in Shoreditch and Hoxton, Bloodrites of the Bourgeoisie and Red London.
