Title: The mysterious origins of Danish Punk Rock revealed at last
Product review: Tim Bradford takes us on a mystical journey through the now-disappeared "underground rivers" of London, all of which have been filled in or paved over in the last few centuries. Well, I guess the journey is mostly just drunken, not really mystical at all. There are a lot of sharp insights about London and about how landscapes change, and a few simply amusing tales of the weirdos Bradford encounters as he walks London's winding streets. And there are lots of great random digressions.This book is a bit more enjoyable if you know London well and can envision the bits Bradford describes. Having a good map of London also enhances the fun, but is not necessary. I suppose this falls into the category of "travelogue" but is far more clever (in a McSweeneys kind of way) and far less pretentious than many (e.g,. Theroux).
