Renowned author Iain Sinclair follows in the footsteps of photographer John Deakin, whose chronicles of Soho life – and the world of Francis Bacon and his friends – has so influenced our perception of that generation’s work. In this bold fictionalisation, Sinclair enters the underworld of Deakin’s life and imagination. The result is an engrossing, utterly unique portrait of a man who some felt was a fallen angel, and others, the devil himself.
