Scales/Silenic Drift - Softcover

Iain Sinclair's 'Our Silenic Compact' is a psychogeographical exploration of London's geological substrata in search of the city's meteorites. Classic Sinclair, it touches and expands upon many of the themes of his most admired works. Brian Catling's 'Ahnighito' is a historical epic-in-miniature, a fictionalised account of the discovery and transportation of the enormous, 34-tonne anhnighito meteorite from Greenland to New York's Natural History Museum in 1894, where it still resides.

Brian Catling is the author of The Vorrh, a poet, sculptor and performer. He is Professor of Fine Art at The Ruskin School of Drawing & Fine Art, University of Oxford. Iain Sinclair is the author of numerous books including American Smoke, Ghost Milk, London Orbital, Hackney That Rose-Red Empire, Lights Out For the Territory.
