Late 60s London, folk star Sarah Kumar arrives to give a concert. She is hot stuff and a hot mess - androgynous, awkward and alluring. Kumar attends hip parties, sings to adoring fans and passes out wasted. She is a picture of consummate coolness, hid nervously behind huge sunglasses. Kumar's world is turned upside when she meets an older woman, the intoxicating Mrs. Stankovich.
"A Jingle Jangle Song brings into the light neglected modes of daily, queer, racialised experience, and commits to being wholly new and strange. It's a triumph and I'm so glad Lurid Editions has put it in our hands again"-Noreen Masud, author of A Flat Place
"To read A Jingle Jangle Song is to discover a missing link in the tradition of the 20th century lesbian novel. It speaks back to The Well of Loneliness and to The Price of Salt, it speaks forward to the Jeanette Winterson of Written on the Body. At the same time, the worldit creates in its spare, compressed way is uncannily contemporary - encompassing celebrity culture, gender fluidity, the politics of body hair"-Leigh Wilson, Publisher, Spiracle Audiobooks
"The heartrending is audible . . . this novella is at once urbane, tender and brutal. Queer desire painted in vivid strokes and furtive dashes through protests and parties of 1960s London. To be devoured whole in one sitting"-Helen Palmer, author of Pleasure Beach
"A lesbian love story set against the rapacity of the music business"-Jane Cholmeley, author of A Bookshop of One's Own
