Boundary Songs: Notes from the Edge of the Lake District National Park

"David Banning's modern picaresque journey into the past, present and future of the Lakes strikes a robustly realist stance; he's a kind of post-punk-folk Romantic, peering backwards and forwards through a blackened Claude glass screen at a multilayered human and natural landscape. Mass trespassing on apocalyptic artists, pop culture and sly insurrection, the beauty of this book is that we never know where he is going to end up, and the getting there is all of the fun."
