What is this? Is it a roleplaying book? is it fiction? Is it even... art? I'm not sure I can tell, but is one of the most deliciously evocative things I've read in a long time. Paints a picture of London like no other book, and the underlying story - told backhandedly through nudges and suggestive silences - will have you at the end of your seat if your into this "found document" thing. God knows I am.
