IN BRIGHTON BABYLON WHERE THE LAND RUNS OUT, THE PEOPLE GO MAD.
Life in the city of Brighton can sometimes resemble that of a situation comedy...a formula that only requires three walls, one at the back and one each side with the action in the middle and the audience watching. Brighton's audience is the vast openness of the English Channel which washes its shore and watches its lives. Life in Brighton sometimes, like the sea, can flow smoothly or rage as rough as a tempest.
Every nation has its standout cities with allure and charms that draw the industrious, creative, talented and peculiar to them. Brighton, on the UK's south coast, holds its own standout qualities. From the times of The Prince Regent, who famously bestowed the city with its notoriety for racy fun and debauchery, to its denizens of today who continue to give credence to the city's beach and playground reputation.
Peter Jarrette writes on the life in this city saturated with colourful people from hot pink clad cabin crew to grass-stained mendicants who all experience the hopes, dreams, problems, addictions and hangovers of modern society. As he moves through various jobs we see how the city works as well as plays. Friendships are found, formed and shipwrecked as Jarrette carries you through a myriad of social and emotional scenarios.
"Set though it is in Britain's provincial capital of seediness and sleaze, Brighton Babylon reflects the desires and distractions, afflictions and addictions of city dwellers everywhere. Featuring tramps, trolley dollies, transients and possibly Triazepan, Peter Jarrette's is a shockingly fresh voice offering a modern social commentary poured with humour and served with a splash of poignancy. A Sex and The City for a fresh and funky century."...... Julie Burchill (Writer)
