Beskrivning

Based on the Third Branch of the Mabinogion, See How They Run tells the story of Llwyd Evans, a small-minded, malicious academic tasked with researching one of Wales' biggest heroes, the rugby player Big M. Self-satisfied. Llwyd's work takes him to Dublin and Dun Laoghaire, then to Holyhead and the luxurious but bizarre Hotel Corvo on the west Wales coast, as he begins to unravel a mystery that links rugby and the gods of Celtic myth, and a tattoo of a mouse with a string of tragic deaths that may not have been accidents after all."Lloyd Jones' novella has the epic scope of the novels of Umberto Eco... the quirkiness and attention to detail of John Irving." New Welsh ReviewLloyd Jones lives in Llanfairfechan, north Wales. Mr Vogel (Seren, 2004) won the McKitterick Prize, and Mr Cassini (Seren, 2006) won the Wales Book of the Year in 2007. His short-story collection is My First Colouring Book (Seren, 2008).

Mer om författaren

Lloyd Jones’ first novel Mr Vogel (Seren, 2005) won the McKitterick first novel award and was shortlisted for the Bollinger Everyman Wodehouse prize for comic fiction. His second novel Mr Cassini (Seren 2006) won the Wales Book of the Year prize. He has also published a collection of short stories: My First Colouring Book (Seren, 2008) and a much-acclaimed novel in Welsh, Y Dwr, (Y Lolfa). Lloyd has also added to Seren's critically acclaimed Mabiogion Series. His Mabinogion novel See How They Run retells ‘Manawydan son of Llyr’ with his usual ingenuity, imaginative intelligence and zest for language to create a hugely enjoyable tale. He started writing fiction after nearly dying of alcoholism and he is also the first person to walk completely around Wales – a journey of 1000 miles. He lives in Abergwyngregyn on the North Wales coast.
