John Tripp – författare

This book brings together a selection of the writings of John Tripp, a figure deserving of critical attention and a continued readership. John Tripp (1927-1986) was one of the leading literary figures in Wales. Poet, short story writer, and journalist, he was an outspoken and often controversial writer whose passion and vigour often spilled over the pages he wrote and into his life. Charming, abrasive, lyrical and satirical, John Tripp had a chameleon genius which enlivened the literary life of Wales for nearly three decades. The Meaning of Apricot Sponge is essential reading for anyone concerned with Wales and the roots of its contemporary identity.
