Funny and moving
The New Yorker
Charters really takes you to the Jungle Inn, and it's worth the visit.
Keyboard
Warm, sympathetic and disarmingly realistic, he [Charters] skilfully draws the line between fact and fiction.
Offbeat Jazz
Charters weaves fact and fiction quite seamlessly, bringing a single character to full, vibrant life.
