As part of the Swn Festival, some of South Wales’ finest writers will share their work in the Vulcan, Adamsdown, Cardiff, this evening (24 October).
The line-up is as follows:
Rachel Trezise
Rachel was the winner of the inaugural Dylan Thomas Prize in 2006 for her short story collection “Fresh Apples“.
Her long-awaited new novel “Sixteen Shades of Crazy” will be published by HarperCollins early in the new year.
Rhys Thomas
Rhys Thomas’s first novel, “The Suicide Club“, is a very black comedy of life as a teenage emo: part Catcher In the Rye and part Clockwork Orange.
‘Rhys Thomas shakes concepts of ‘normality’ to the core.’ – Independent on Sunday
Susie Wild
Susie Wild’s debut collection of short stories “The Art of Contraception” is out through Parthian in 2010. Her tall tales have also appeared in Nu: Fiction & Stuff and The Raconteur.
‘A talent for razor-sharp, satirical observation.‘ – Nigel Jenkins.
Tom Anderson
Writer/surfer Tom Anderson’s new book, “Chasing Dean“, sees him chasing the waves down the eastern seaboard of the US during Hurricane season.
‘Anderson’s sharp and witty style, allied with a poignant exploration of the nature of friendship, takes him into contemporary Kerouac territory.‘ – The Times
