277. I Hate the Lake District
£12.99
Charlie Gere
I Hate the Lake District offers a different vision of the rural environment from those found in much contemporary nature writing. Based on the author's trips around North West England, the book engages with nuclear power and nuclear war, slavery, imperialism, ghosts, love, God, cockroaches, and the sheer violence and contingency of "nature" itself--of which the human presence is merely a part. Each chapter starts with an account of a visit to a place in this remote part of England, the deep north, but digresses and wanders through multifarious themes and subjects. . . . more

Please write any requests in the 'special instructions' box at the checkout and allow 1 - 2 weeks for delivery.** It's Christmas and a serial killer is leaving displayed body parts all over Cumbria.

£14.99
Paul Kirkham
