![]() ![]() It's a joy to revisit London below, a dangerous journey indeed for the Marquis where he encounters a grievance that has festered for a long long time, the terrifying Shepherd's of Shepherd's Bush and even more fascinating, a member of his family. ![]() 'The paths of London Below are not the paths of London Above: they rely to no little extent on things like belief and opinion and tradition as much as they rely upon the realities of maps.' The world building is phenomenally good, it's one of the many ingredients that go into making Neverwhere a place that feels just too real for words, a definite, dark imagery, full of magical things, slightly warped people and intrigue, lots of intrigue. 'The Marquis de Carabas liked being who he was, and when he took risks he liked them to be calculated risks, and he was someone who double-and triple-checked his calculations.' More importantly than all that, it had style and it made him the man he was, the Marquis de Carabas. The Marquis de Carabas is recovering rather nicely from a terminally bad case of death and the one thing he really, really wants? Is his beautiful coat back.Īnd it was truly beautiful, remarkable and completely unique, unusual pockets, some of which even he couldn't find every time he looked, magnificent sleeves, an imposing collar and made of leather the colour of a wet street at midnight. ![]()

I felt as if he had a lot to say, and yet his photographs left something unsaid. In more ways than one, Rumi’s lyrical ballads and Saul’s visual imagery collapsed into each other, despite their great divergence. The first time I saw Saul Leiter’s images, I was reminded of a couplet from Jelaluddin Rumi’s poetry. He was encouraged to take up photography, and finally bought a 35mm Leica in exchange for a few photographs. As a young adult in a big city, Saul befriended the camera more than it befriended him. ![]() He almost became a Rabbi, until he took a midnight bus from his parent’s home that brought him to the hustle and bustle of New York City. ![]() Saul Leiter began photographing in colour in the early 90s, much before anyone else.

Allowed one hour’s exercise a day, he walked in single file in the yard with other prisoners but he was not allowed to communicate with them.
