Es benötigte wohl den Abstand einiger Jahre, um Jack die Erkenntnis gewinnen zu lassen, dass da wohl doch einiges schiefgelaufen war in seinem Leben. Anders kann er sich das nicht erklären, dass er sein sexuell ausschweifendes Leben trotz so mancher Aufwachmomente einfach weiterführte. So war es denn wohl auch folgelogisch, dass das alles irgendwann in den totalen Absturz führen musste, und die Befreiung aus diesem Tief sich als härter herausstellte, als der härteste Sex, den er je erlebt hatte.Dies ist die Fortsetzung des ersten, Liquids genannten Teils.

One of Merthyr's Victorian brickyard girls, Saran watches the world parade past her doorstep on the banks of the stinking and rat-infested Morlais Brook: the fair-day revellers; the chapel-goers and the funeral processions. She never misses a trip to the town's wooden theatres, despite her life ruled by the 5 a.m. hooter, pit strikes, politics and the First World War that takes away so many of her children. Her Glyn will work a treble shift for beer money; her brother Harry is the district's most notorious drinker and fighter until he is 'saved'. The town changes and grows but Saran is still there for Glyn, for Harry, for her children and grandchildren.In his 1935 novel Black Parade, writer, soldier and political activist Jack Jones creates a superbly riotous, clear and unsentimental picture of Merthyr life as his home town reels headlong into the twentieth century.
