The Blog of the Book
Welcome
My name is Paul Kingsnorth. This site is the cyberspace companion to my book, Real England, which was published in 2008 and appears in paperback this summer.
Join me as I travel through a country whose character and identity are being erased by corporate power, an over-centralised state, money and indifference - and meet the people working to turn the tide.

Just had a look at your book promoting vid. Very dapper looking and so professional with all the head moving, nods and winks of a genuine news reader. You should be offered a job presenting the alternative news!
Thanks for comments on the ecologist blog. Sad though that your book is doing so well, he says selfishly, because people will now think I'm a tosser stripping the country bare selling wild foods to restaurants. I've not continued with that environmental dead end for about 2 years now - probable just disentangling myself from the whole sordid business when you came down. Anyway, if they don't kick me off the ecologist for missing deadlines, I intend to write about foraging and sustainability for the September issue. Basically it would involve small scale farming at which point the 'wild foods' would be neither wild nor foraged - but still very tasty!

Nonsense: that's not how you come across at all! Actually a few people have commented to me already on how interesting you sound, so there. You've got more to worry about from mad Ecologist-reading badger lovers, I would say ...
Smallholding plus low-impact dwelling plus foraging has to be the way forward. Count me in in on that one.
sxorkjwe agree with all you say - the tide must be turned back to the England we knew and loved. no false shame about being British! Real living in real communities where possessions are not the only focus of life.
