Jude Cook studied English Literature at UCL, and was a musician and songwriter for the band Flamingoes. Byron Easy is his first novel. He lives in London.
" And now we have Byron Easy, the young hero of Jude Cook's first novel. Byron is a poet of the self-published and permanently wine-stained variety. Cook can clearly write... [He] has written something new. This is certainly bold, a proud flourish of anti-wisdom. " -- The New York Times Book Review "Ravishing in its evocations of beauty, sexual candor, suspense, and unusual insights into the soul-battering consequences of abuse and violence. Cook's debut gathers force as a rolling and rocking ballad of survival and love." -- Booklist "Daring, moving, imaginative and, above all, funny. This is a great debut from a promising novelist." -- The Sunday Mirror "The style is impressively realistic and intelligent." -- WaketheDeaf.co.uk "Jude Cook demonstrates a remarkable level of self-assurance in his command of language. An admirable piece of work and I can only commend Jude Cook for his ability to navigate this novel from beginning to end with such style and panache." -- ACommonReader.org
