| book description |

AÂ New StatesmanÂ Book of the Year, 2021 â€˜Follow Iain Sinclair into the cloud jungles of Peru and emerge questioning all that seemed so solid and immutable.â€™ Barry Miles From the award-winning author of The Last London and Lights Out for the Territory, a journey in the footsteps of our ancestors. Iain Sinclair and his daughter travel through Peru, guided by â€“ and in reaction to â€“ an ill-fated colonial expedition led by his great-grandfather. The family history of a displaced Scottish highlander fades into the brutal reality of a major land grab. The historic thirst for gold and the establishment of sprawling coffee plantations leave terrible wounds on virgin territory. In Sinclairâ€™s haunting prose, no place escapes its past, and nor can we. â€˜The Gold MachineÂ is a trip, a psychoactive expedition in compelling company.â€™Â TLS
