X Coranto is a layered, formally inventive work that reanimates the history of a single South London street through fractured reportage, fictional memoir, and archival collage. Spanning centuries, it stitches together newspaper clippings, personal fragments, and imagined monologues to expose the recurring violences – domestic, institutional, economic – that shape a place and its people. Ingram balances satire and sorrow with unsettling fluency, excavating both the spectacle and the banality of lived experience. The result is a portrait of urban life as palimpsest: ghosted, unstable, and persistently unresolved.

‘A bloody and dizzying tapestry of lives that echo eerily through the centuries. Gothic, sublime and utterly enchanting. This is a master at work.’
—Karina Lickorish Quinn

‘Impish meditations on a London simmering with sex crime and social disaster… a broadsheet collage of urban historicity, tuned to the scale of a razor.’
—Kirsten Norrie
