| Join us to hear the extraordinary story of the republication of a lost classic of working-class literature, Jack Hilton’s Caliban Shrieks. The man responsible for bringing the novel back to life, bartender turned literary detective Jack Chadwick, will be in conversation with the book’s publisher, Nick Skidmore.
Jack Chadwick stumbled across Caliban Shrieks two years ago in Salford’s Working Class Movement Library. Originally published in 1935 and praised by luminaries such as George Orwell and W.H. Auden, Hilton’s semi-autobiographical novel captures the hardship and toil of the 20th Century’s turbulent, war-blighted times.
With new introductions by Andrew McMillan and Chadwick, the story of Caliban Shriek’s creation is every bit as extraordinary as the man whose life it tells. The same is true of its long overdue reappearance. |
