Publisher's Summary

First published as Journal of the Gallery London in 1993 with revised editions in 1998 and 2001, more than 400 entries chronicle the life of the city; a powerfully driven arena of dysfunctional experience. Episodes record incidents and encounters; in the streets, with shoppers and travelers, in the landscape, and in scenes of social and internal life. As the journal develops, fact and fiction blend into a filmic sequence of events. Reality is colored by a seamless flow of messages of promise and dereliction that gently gather strands of the communal imagination into a protective shell.
