In this sequel to London, Robinson and the narrator continue to re-imagine the state of the nation as they make their way through England’s post-industrial landscape. In homage to Daniel Defoe, they embark on seven meandering trips over England. The first trip takes them along the Thames, west and east of London; the second to Oxford, Cambridge, and Bristol; the third to the West Midlands; the fourth to Birmingham and Liverpool; the fifth to Manchester and Hull; the sixth to Scarborough and Whitby; the seventh to Blackpool and Sellafield. The couple ends their journey in Newcastle, where Robinson’s quest for Utopia remains unresolved.
