Lizard Landscape at the Society of Wildlife Artists Exhibition: The Natural Eye

I was pleased to find out that an ex-colleague, who used to work as an archaeological illustrator, has had this "book" accepted for the Natural Eye: the Annual Society of Wildlife Artists exhibition.
Kristiina Sandoe's work (as it says on the Greenwich Printmakers website where she regularly exhibits) currently explores landmarks, memory and archaeology, focusing on remembered landscapes both personal and cultural. She is interested in the development of land use: the way that natural boundaries and man-made structures form and order the landscape....

Literary London Crime: The Dark Eyes of London

A Gresham College lecture at the Museum of London

by Cathi Unsworth

...novelist, writer and editor who lives and works in London. 

Overview

London is a city of secrets, a shifting, seething mass of intrigue, venality and violence, in constant cultural flux. The perfect setting for crime fiction - but how does the modern writer decode this centuries' old conurbation?
Cathi Unsworth investigates those authors who haunt certain regions of the capital – Ken Bruen’s Dirty South; Dreda Say Mitchell’s Illicit East; Derek Raymond’s West End Jungle – those, like Jake Arnott, who create epic pop histories from our forgotten past; and those, like Iain Sinclair, whose meditations on the geography of violence have inspired a different kind of crime fiction.
Along the way, she will also explore the cult writers who helped to shape these contemporary authors' visions and the clandestine vocabulary of the City of Slang.

This is part of the “Literary London Crime” Mondays at One Series.
The other lectures in the series include the following:
   Crime in Dickens' London
   The Postmodern Detective: Contemporary London Crime Fiction
   "A Stout Heart in the Great Cesspool": Arthur Conan Doyle and London
