Caught Jester

By Mr Tom Ronson

'In this business, nobody owes anyone anything. Remember that.'During a career that spanned three decades and took him from a second-rate holiday camp to London's West End and the Edinburgh Festival to Cannes and Hollywood, Jerry Winston was reliably outrageous, hilarious, shocking, provocative, bold, controversial, disgusting and intelligent - frequently all at once.But who was he? What made him such a unique, baffling and contradictory personality? Why did he turn his back on fame and fortune and vanish from the public eye?In Tom Ronson's acclaimed and intriguing debut novel, the author takes an in-depth look at the difficult life and high times of a fictional comedian, set against the turbulent backdrop of the satire boom of the sixties, the smut and surrealism of the seventies, and the alternative movement of the eighties - creating a personality so vivid and three-dimensional, you'd almost swear he was for real...Tom Ronson is a former cartoonist, scriptwriter and illustrator whose work has appeared in a variety of 'outsider' publications. He has also worked in retail, in charity shops, as a stand-up comedian and as a street musician in between periods of unemployment. He lives in Northampton, and Caught Jester is his first published novel.PLEASE NOTE - This is the revised edition of Caught Jester, with the grammatical / factual / spelling errors from the first edition corrected. The first edition is now out of print.
