That story came to a dramatic end in 1977 when Caliban took his own life. But now, in a sensational new development, a manuscript, written in old age by Caliban himself, has emerged which proves that his story didn?t end there. At last we can know: why did he leave us? What did it all mean to him? And ? for the first time ? what did it feel like to be Caliban? Each new book from Nigel Cox is a surprise. But Jungle Rock Blues is a wild, slow-motion astonishment. ? Bill Manhire Through its hypnotic fusing of two mythic lives this novel takes on some of the founding fables of our culture.

In a pulpy world, Jungle Rock Blues rewrites the lyrics of the familiar, giving us a wondrous new song.
