Authors Blake, Julie
Contents

After a quick romp through literary representations of London over time, Julie Blake homes in on 'Londonstani', a contemporary take on the city. Drawing parallels with 'A Clockwork Orange', she explores the linguistic energy and vitality of its mulitcultural argot. If you're sensitive, be warned - this article contains very strong language.
