Print of a Hare's Foot is both compelling and believable, its
status as a modern classic thoroughly deserved. Davies was a writer
with impeccable skills of characterisation, and the shopgirls,
strikers, preachers and writers who inhabit this 'Autobiographical
Beginning' emerge from the book with a powerful vitality equal to
the best of his short fiction. It begins with Davies's childhood
and adolescence in the Rhondda valleys, where his family are
reasonably prosperous shopkeepers, distanced to a degree from the
industrial strife and periodic poverty that surrounds them. Leaving
life behind the counter, Davies moves to London, to the literary
scene and anonymous bed-sitters in Fitzrovia. Alternatively writing
and travelling during the 20s and 30s, in France he catches crabs
in Nice and discusses Chekhov with D. H. Lawrence, a great friend
and important influence. And in Germany, the homosexual Davies is
an uneasy witness to the rise of Nazism.
