Portrait Of The Artist As A Young Dog

Author: Thomas, Dylan

Classic fiction (pre c 1945)

Published on 8 May 2014 by Orion Publishing Co (Weidenfeld & Nicolson) in the United Kingdom.

First the young schoolboy, gloriously immersed in make-believe in a shabby farmyard; then the budding poet with his thrilling friendships and dreams of fortune. Finally, the neophyte reporter roaming suburban Swansea for momentous material. In ten wonderfully evocative short stories, Dylan Thomas conveys the exuberance and enthusiasm of youth as he fictionalises events from his childhood. Adolescent sexuality and male friendship are two of the themes that pervade this collection, along with the more familiar topics of love, death and religion.

Featuring a bold new livery in celebration of the Dylan Thomas centenary.
