Critics Review

“A brilliant, neglected text of London gnosis, backstreet Modernism.” - China Mi

‘‘A brilliant, neglected text of London gnosis, backstreet Modernism.”
“The world’s first “Jungle novel”, and a real headtrip… here is a living language, taking on new and weird shapes from its concrete habitat.”
“An amazing document of what London and UK clubbing was like at this time… Like the best club nights, you just don’t want it to end.”
“Junglist doesn’t just allow you to hear the sound of a subculture through its pages, it implores you to feel it.”
“A text that speaks to the soul of what was nothing less than a revolutionary moment in the unfolding of British multiculturalism.”
“A hypnotic, immersive novel.”
“A hypnotic, immersive novel.”
