Description
Hackney, that Rose-Red Empire is Iain Sinclair's personal record of his north-east London home, in which he has lived for forty years. It is a documentary fiction, seeking to capture the spirit of place before Hackney succumbs to change. This book is a message in a bottle, chucked into the flood of the future, as Sinclair navigates the borough's historical and spiritual life.

Through his writing, Sinclair reveals the beauty and grit of Hackney, a place that is both familiar and constantly evolving.
