{"product_id":"jungle-rock-blues","title":"Jungle Rock Blues","description":"Raised by gorillas in the wild jungles of New Zealand, scarred in battles with vicious giant wetas, seduced by a beautiful young scientist, discovered by Memphis record producer Sam Phillips and adored by millions - the dirt-to-dreams life story of Caliban is as legendary as his 30 number one hits. 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 the guise of a joyous adventure story, it slyly poses questions about genius, fame, failure and love. From its boldly funny opening page, the novel re-imagines the facts, and from then on the reader surrenders to one of the most extraordinary narrators in our literature: speculative, sexy, outlandish and tender. In a pulpy world, JUNGLE ROCK BLUES rewrites the lyrics of the familiar, giving us a wondrous new song.","brand":"Unity Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43582481694917,"sku":"","price":40.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/6679\/3413\/files\/Jungle_20Rock_20Blues.jpg?v=1716598882","url":"https:\/\/unitybooks.myshopify.com\/products\/jungle-rock-blues","provider":"Unity Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
