Shadows & Reflections – Ceri Levy
31 December 2011 // Shadows & Reflections
In which, as the year comes to its end, our friends and collaborators look back and share their moments: I thought 2010 had won the monopoly on experiential living with its highs, lows, peaks, troughs, rights, wrongs and all those mixed emotions that seem to course through my odd and eventful life. But this has [...]

Friends lost, family torn apart, penury, loss [...]
Savage Messiah
Iain Sinclair’s praise of Savage Messiah, a book by Laura Oldfield Ford (the Guardian, 22/12), has left me eager to pick up a copy: One response to our stunned impotence in the face of financial meltdown, political chicanery and the creeping surveillance society, is to indulge in fugues of entropy tourism. Badlands dérives. Websites clanking [...]
