A renowned essayist and writer of fiction, Iain’s early work consisted mostly of poetry which he published on his own small press, Albion Village Press. His novels include Downriver (winner of the James Tait Black Prize and the Encore Prize), Radon DaughtersLandor’s Tower and Dining on Stones (shortlisted for the Ondaatje Prize). Non-fiction books, exploring the myth and matter of London, include Lights Out for the TerritoryLondon OrbitalHackney, that Rose-Red EmpireGhost Milk: Calling Time on the Grand Project and most recently Blake’s London: The Topographic Sublime.
