This Pivot book examines literary elements of urban topography that have animated Alan Moore, Peter Ackroyd, and Iain Sinclair''s respective representations of London-ness. Ann Tso argues these authors write London "psychogeographically" to deconstruct popular visions of London with colonial and neoliberal undertones. Moore''s psychogeography consists of bird''s-eye views that reveal the brute force threatening to unravel Londonscape from within; Ackroyd''s aims to detect London sensuously, since every new awareness recalls an otherworldly London; Sinclair''s conjures up a narrative consciousness made erratic by London''s disunified landscape. Drawing together the dystopian, the phenomenological, and the postcolonial, Tso explores how these texts characterize "London-ness" as estranging.
