Paperback. Condition: New. 'Bags of fish for cats - 50 pence'. So it was written, on a chalkboard sign outside a fresh fishmonger's, under the arches of the raised promenade along the beachfront of England's newly super trendy and booming seaside City of Brighton and Hove. In Brighton Babylon, PK Heights is a Grade II listed maisonette flat in one of the City's up and coming Regency Squares that provides the elegant base for a series of interlocking true stories about the city's people and their lives. Newly relocated from London, Brighton resident Peter Jarrette combines and intertwines his stories, using a colourful palette that is one part Brokeback Beach and three parts seawater. He vividly portrays a selection of suspect characters and shocking episodes; much like the curious bits and pieces that might be on offer in one of those bags of fish for cats. To the author's consternation, the residents and visitors are a thoroughly peculiar and motley crew. This former string of south coast fishing villages with a royal and decadent past may now be a thoroughly cosmopolitan City and even aspire to being an international hub, but it has not yet lost its renowned and celebrated dark side, far from it.Brighton Babylon is populated by a cast of unsavoury hobos and bother boys; Yardie obsessed golden shower webmasters from nearby Crawley; mistakenly racist London hairdressers; strangely scripted market researchers; extemporised short-haul cabin crew; pushy airline First Officers; politically incorrect new food emporia; a vengeful, crumbling resort Pier and a locally obsessed, cat-mad press pack.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. TRINIDAD: ROCK HARD AND FRUITY is a book for fans of travel, people and foreign places. Peter Jarrette is a shrewd observer of characters and situations. He is a past master at social commentary. TRINIDAD ROCK HARD AND FRUITY tells of unfolding events for "the artist" and his European wife when they switch cities from London, England to Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, the artist's original Caribbean island home. It is the mid 1990'S. Under a tropical sun are many shadows. Rock Hard and Fruity dissects island life as the couple settle into local ways, trying to make a go of blending in with a much different culture than the one they have left behind. TRINIDAD ROCK HARD AND FRUITY explores the sexual climate in a tropical idyll. It eyes up topical issues of race, social structures and social exclusion in a part of the world you thought you knew from travel brochures. It listens to the "pong", or gossip while teaching you the local creole terminology. It lets you watch the local TV and international imported shows and spanks Caribbean Cable and Wireless. It takes you shopping on hot days for fresh meat and tagliatelli. It's got hills, bush, beach, sex, stalkers, bitches, booze, badness, corruption, cars, crashes, and at least one Carnival. There is more to life in the Caribbean than holiday resorts that teach you little of the cultures that surround you. Jarrette is a world traveller and 'lives' in the cities and countries he explores. He finds their humour and shares it out to you. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
