Jukebox Paradiso

By Tom Ronson

England, 1985. Jay Latimer - the singer, songwriter and guitarist with The Scarlet Empire - is about to embark on a solo career on the advice of his manager, who seems certain that Jay could crack the lucrative American market with a minimum of effort. A music industry veteran at the tender age of twenty-six, Jay throws himself in at the deep end, sink or swim...

Tom Ronson follows his acclaimed debut novel CAUGHT JESTER with a warts-and-all expos? of the peaks and troughs of the music industry during the Thatcher / Reagan era - a time when excess equalled success, bigger was better, hubris and cocaine walked hand-in-hand, and MTV could make or break an artist overnight.

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, and as a street musician and comedian in between periods of unemployment.
