Untold London

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'Dan about town! CNJ reporter publishes his lockdown 'love letter' to London.' * <i>Camden New Journal</i> * 'I like to call Dan Carrier "The Mayor of Dartmouth Park" - the area we both inhabit in North London. He's the guy who knows everyone, organises every community street party, helps out at the food bank, trains the local football team ... But reading this endlessly fascinating and revelatory book, I now realise that he is "The mayor of London". Or ought to be. Where do I vote?

While the rest of us were locked away in our flats and houses during lockdown, Dan Carrier was touring the city. In his imagination. These extraordinarily fascinating essays take us on a personal, historical, biographical ghost-ride around the crevices and crannies of the capital city - a place that Dan knows better than anyone else. His curiosity and knowledge are evident on every page - as is his deft skill as a writer. He's a "Boz" for our age - and these his loving sketches of a city situated somewhere between sleep and waking.' -- Kevin MacDonald, Oscar-winning film director
