White Chappell, Scarlet Tracings

White Chappell, Scarlet Tracings

by IainSinclair (Author)

Synopsis

This is a novel about London - its past, its people, its underbelly and its madness. 'In this extraordinary work, Sinclair combines a spiritual inquest into the Whitechapel Ripper murders and the dark side of the late Victorian imagination with a posse of seedy book dealers hot on the trail of obscure rarities of that period. These ruined and ruthless dandies appear and disappear through a phantasmagoria interspersed with occult conjurings and reflections on the nature of fiction and history' - "Guardian".
