| book description |
One afternoon, in a particularly bright and glowing August, some years before I knew I was happy... 'The best entry to Dylan's prose writing' GUARDIAN 'Powerful and profoundly beautiful' SIR ANTHONY HOPKINS (on 'A Visit to Grandpa's') Shot through with the exuberance of youth and the melancholy of nostalgia, Dylan Thomas's beloved collection of loosely autobiographical short fiction reveals the poet in an entirely new light. From the young schoolboy gloriously immersed in make-believe to the penniless journalist who 'hoped, in a vague way, to live on women', the Thomas of these stories explores love, death, religion, adolescent sexuality and fragile male friendships in one of the twentieth century's most memorable collections of short fiction. Collected here in the most comprehensive edition available, the stories are presented with an introduction by Thomas's daughter, Aeronwy, and a detailed chronology of the author's life.
