Description

Caliban Shrieks is a powerful and poignant autobiographical novel that explores the life of a young working-class man born into the first days of the 20th century. The book follows its narrator as he navigates the challenges of poverty, factory life, and war, ultimately finding himself disenfranchised from the world and sold into a cycle of working life. Written in the 1930s, this lost masterpiece of British literature was rediscovered in 2022 and is now available once again. Its bold modernist retelling of the myth of how we find ourselves lost and disconnected from the world continues to speak powerfully today. With its witty and unusual prose, Caliban Shrieks is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the experiences of working-class life in 20th-century England.
