Adventures in the Skin Trade de Dylan Thomas

Adventures in the Skin Trade

Autor Dylan Thomas
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 1968

This collection of the poet Dylan Thomas's fiction and what an extraordinary storyteller he was holds special interest because it ranges from the early stories such as "The School for Witches" and "The Burning Baby," with their powerful inheritance of Welsh mythology and wild imagination, to the chapters he completed before his death of the alas unfinished novel Adventures in the Skin Trade. Adventures is the story, written in a shrewd, sly, deadpan vein of picaresque comedy, of young Samuel Bennet, who runs away from his home in Wales to seek his fortune in London. "

Notă biografică

Lucy Gough was recently invited to take up the Granada artist residency at the University of California Davis, where she wrote and directed a live radio/theatre piece which was performed and broadcast. She has just been awarded a Creative Wales Award to explore the role of the writer in Physical Theatre. She was also a finalist for the BBC Wales Drama Award 2012 and the Nick Darke Award 2013.Dylan Thomas was born in Swansea in 1914. After leaving school he worked briefly as a junior reporter on the South Wales Evening Post before deciding to embark on a freelance literary career. He rapidly established himself as a remarkable personality and one of the finest poets of his generation. 18 Poems appeared in 1934, Twenty-five Poems in 1936, Deaths and Entrances in 1946 and In Country Sleep in 1952. His Collected Poems was published in 1952. Throughout his life, Thomas also wrote short stories, his most famous collection being Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog. He also wrote film scripts, was a celebrated broadcaster of radio features and talks, lectured widely in America, and wrote the radio play Under Milk Wood, first broadcast posthumously in 1954.

Recenzii

Lucy Gough has adapted it for the stage and she has created a new play in the unmistakable tones of Thomas . . . What Lucy Gough allows us to hear is the unmistakeable voice of Dylan Thomas grappling with recalcitrant material and providing the audience with entertaining diversion while he struggles.
Dylan Thomas devotees who make the effort to go along will be entranced, amused, and perhaps a little shocked.?
Dylan Thomas's gloriously surreal coming of age (and unfinished) novel about a young man adrift in a nightmarish, nihilistic London is given new life and energy by acclaimed writer Lucy Gough.
