Description
James Attlee's Isolarion is a personal and thoughtful account of a pilgrimage to the Cowley Road in Oxford, a place he thought he already knew. He explores everyday places with reverence, questioning how we are changed by even the smallest journeys.
The book presents a vital collection of places, people, languages, and cultures that make up Attlee's city. From sensory-deprivation tanks to halal shops, Brazilian art dealers, reggae clubs, and quiet churchyards, he celebrates the eclectic nature of urban life.
Isolarion is a charming road movie, a battle cry against creeping homogenisation, and a love song to the messy real life of the city. Drawing inspiration from various sources, Attlee's book offers a unique perspective on the city he calls home.
