At the heart of Dai Country - the central valleys of
twentieth-century South Wales from the 1930s to the 1970s - was the
metropolis of Pontypridd, and it is from this vantage point in time
and space that Alun Richards cast his baleful eye on the personal
relationships and social ambitions of the inhabitants of this
much-fabled country. In this compendium volume, the best of his
short stories, as funny and savage as they are scathing and
compassionate, are combined with his entrancing autobiographical
memoir "Days of Absence" to take us to the core of those
incomparable valleys, with their lived experience stripped bare for
once of their usual cloak of cliche and sentiment.
