Beschreibung

<p><strong>A <em>New Statesman </em>Book of the Year, 2021</strong></p><p><strong>'Follow Iain Sinclair into the cloud jungles of Peru and emerge questioning all that seemed so solid and immutable.' Barry Miles</strong></p><p><strong>From the award-winning author of <em>The Last London</em> and <em>Lights Out for the Territory</em>, a journey in the footsteps of our ancestors.</strong></p><p>Iain Sinclair and his daughter travel through Peru, guided by - and in reaction to - an ill-fated colonial expedition led by his great-grandfather. The family history of a displaced Scottish highlander fades into the brutal reality of a major land grab. The historic thirst for gold and the establishment of sprawling coffee plantations leave terrible wounds on virgin territory.</p><p>In Sinclair's haunting prose, no place escapes its past, and nor can we.</p><p><strong>'<em>The Gold Machine </em>is a trip, a psychoactive expedition in compelling company.' <em>TLS</em></strong></p>
