‘Dan about town! CNJ reporter publishes his lockdown ‘love letter’
to London.’
*Camden New Journal*
‘I like to call Dan Carrier “The Mayor of Dartmouth Park” - the
area we both inhabit in North London. He’s the guy who knows
everyone, organises every community street party, helps out at the
food bank, trains the local football team … But reading this
endlessly fascinating and revelatory book, I now realise that he is
“The mayor of London”. Or ought to be. Where do I vote?While the
rest of us were locked away in our flats and houses during
lockdown, Dan Carrier was touring the city. In his imagination.
These extraordinarily fascinating essays take us on a personal,
historical, biographical ghost-ride around the crevices and
crannies of the capital city - a place that Dan knows better than
anyone else. His curiosity and knowledge are evident on every page
- as is his deft skill as a writer. He’s a “Boz” for our age - and
these his loving sketches of a city situated somewhere between
sleep and waking.’
*Kevin MacDonald, Oscar-winning film director*
