Dining on Stones is Iain Sinclairs sharp, edgy mystery of London and its environs.
Andrew Norton, poet, visionary and hack, is handed a mysterious package that sees him quit London and head out along the A13 on an as yet undefined quest. Holing up in a roadside hotel, unable to make sense of his search, he is haunted by ghosts: of the dead and the not-so dead; demanding wives and ex-wives; East End gangsters; even competing versions of himself. Shifting from Hackney to Hastings and all places in-between, while dissecting a mans fractured psyche piece by piece, Dining on Stones is a puzzle and a quest - for both writer and reader.

Spectacular: the work of a man with the power to see things as they are, and magnify that vision with a clarity that is at once hallucinatory and forensicIndependent on Sunday
