A Resident in the Nigeria that Cary himself knew as a colonial administrator from 1913 to 1919, Cock Jervis is heroic, outsize, tragic-comic, as he struggles to find meaning in his world on continuous change and injustice.A seminal novel, which despite many attempts, Cary was never able to complete. He said it contained ‘some of the best stuff I ever wrote ’and it influenced both Castle Corner and Not Honour More.
