apologies if this has been done before... did a search and stuff.
(and i know it's similar to the Victorian London thread but still...)
anyway.
i work in a bookshop and i need to revamp the london section... basically there's a table dedicated to london writing but it's ALWAYS full of the same stuff ... Sinclair, Ackroyd, Dickens, Ballard etc.... it's so unexciting.
so basically i'm just looking for ANY ideas for london writing that aren't completely obvious. can be fiction or non-fiction, biography, sport, poetry.. anything... anything really that people won't have been exposed to a hundred times before. i know i'm being really lazy and getting everyone to do my work for me but i thought people might enjoy any recommendations that come to light.
cheers!
