Description
Book SynopsisDylan Thomas’s magisterial stories all in one volume, available in a beautiful new paperback edition.
Trade Review"Thomas meant much to me and my generation, he is still singing in his chains like the sea—a force driving the flowers." -- Seamus Heaney
"His prose, his images, his stories all pulsate with life, with a beat and a variety that captivate, invigorate, and clarify." -- Los Angeles Times
"Thomas’s stories appeal to me because he is required to snake his poetics in between the dialogue and exposition (such as it is), and the form reins in his Biblical tendencies. … In the same way that compilation albums often reveal the hidden strengths of a band, allowing someone else to decide what works,
Collected Stories has always been my favorite Thomas, because of its balance. I need a touch of zinc white to even out the purple with this one. The demands of successful fiction bring Thomas and his rambles into the light, where we can see the triumph and regret in every drop." -- Sasha Frere-Jones - 4columns
