The invention of Paris, Institute Francais

Eric Hazan’s newly translated urban history of Paris, The Invention of Paris, A History in Footsteps, maps centuries of architectural revolutions and weaves concrete development with politics and literature. Iain Sinclair equally understands the poetics and politics of place. In London Orbital,  Sinclair walked the length of the M5 motorway circling London on foot.  His latest work, Hackney, That Rose-Red Empire pieces together the oral accounts and occult psychogeography of East London. The pair will discuss their journeys through Paris and London.
