Media Reviews
An esoteric masterpiece. -- Jan Morris
Heart-wrenching. A classic to be read and reread. * * Daily Telegraph * *
One of the oddest, most elusive, most haunting novels ever. -- Niall Griffiths
A remarkable book that recalls Under Milk Wood. * * Times Literary Supplement * *
One of the great lost voices of Welsh literature. For its portrayal of a vanished way of life, and for its evocation of the tearless sadness of insanity, this strange, melancholy book deserves to be widely read. * * Observer * *
A very moving, often funny account of childhood. * * Spectator * *
Lyrical and visceral, comic and tragic, compellingly earthy and maddeningly gothic - after 40 years this literary oddity continues to elude classification. * * Observer * *
Challenging, compressed and utterly compelling. * * Guardian * *
Premonitions of insanity and the mercurial personality of its narrator give the story a hallucinatory, ambiguous edge. * * Herald * *
