Sinclair, Iain

The matter of rubbish never goes away, and it returns in its shabby, abject form in Iain Sinclair s writings. Here it takes on the shape of the un-assimilatable, that which cannot be recycled within the terms of the system. Rubbish is capitalism s remainder, human or otherwise. It features as a point of hope and despair. The nature-human synthesis is yet to be properly achieved. The rift continues.
