Books
John Nightly, born in Cambridge in 1948, is an artist. In previous centuries he might have been a novelist or poet, a painter or playwright, a grand chef, gardener or astronomer. But the time is now, and John Nightly has found his dimension in the world of pop music, the art form of his time. A musical child prodigy of the 1950s, John finds fame in the London music scene of the mid-60s. But success has side effects, and after too many lost years drying out at various clinics in Los Angeles, he retreats to a hideaway on the coast of Cornwall where he plans to live out his days as a cultivator and exporter of exotic plants. When a teenaged super-fan rediscovers his magnum opus, the Mink Bungalow Requiem, he might just be the saviour that can bring John Nightly back to life.
