Joe Swanberg and the four auteurs who comprise Radio Silence, with
Adam Wingard directing the sequences that follow the effects of the
videos on the burglars who view them. The actors to appear include
Calvin Reeder, Lane Hughes, Kentucker Audley, Hannah Fierman and
Jas Sams.
After discovering experimental hallucinogenic pills, a troubled
artist, struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder, embarks on
a series of surreal trips into his subconscious - but is he ready
for what he'll find there? As James Svengal searches for inner
peace, his life spirals out of control and he is forced to confront
harsh truths about his relationships, his work and himself. Animals
talk, gramophones wash ashore, and relationships are tested in this
surreal and affecting graphic novel from the critically acclaimed
creative team of Lyndon White and Jordan Sam Adams.
The Perseids brought it all out of the past, with a force like a
blow that leaves you winded. The night lurched and seemed to swoop
suddenly down. The boy still lay on his back, but when I sat up,
gasping, I glimpsed the pale disc of his face as he turned to see
what had startled me. 'It's all right,' I said, though it wasn't.
It is the summer of 1954. Four young men, on a summer vacation buy
an old car from a farmer and drive it from the hills of Wales all
the way to the mountains of Spain. It is only a few years since the
war, Europe is still in ruins. They are innocent and war-scarred,
dreamers and realists, men but not much more than boys. They have
their whole lives ahead of them. This will be their summer to
remember. A beautiful, elegiac rumination on youth, friendship and
the dreams that we hold. "A haunting meditation on memory and loss
that takes the reader on a summer road trip to a vanished Spain. In
this well-crafted, wistful novella, Sam Adams weaves his tapestry
from fragments of a remembered friendship in a coming of age tale
written with sixty years' bitter hindsight." - Richard Gwyn Sam
Adams has created a rare novel in The Road to Zarauz, both timeless
and very much of a time and a place, a past of hope and expectation
erased in a moment, and what remains when hope is gone.

Welcome to Wakefield. Population 1,534 eccentric people and one
exasperated reporter. T.D. Duff is a reporter at the only newspaper
in the postage-stamp Southern town of Wakefield. He's a got a
degree in journalism, a dead-end job, and a wickedly dry sense of
humor. But then, he's not alone in Augusta County. There's Clarence
(with one syllable), proud owner of a potato that looks like Tom
Selleck; Nosh Jones, who is locked in mortal combat with Roger
Shepherd for the title of The Most Famousest Snake Hunter in
Augusta County; and Bug Wake, T.D.'s eccentric boss. Join T.D. and
his buds, a bevy of buxom beauties and the world's meanest possum
for a rollicking romp through the backwoods of Augusta County, a
place that is so unimportant, even the state doesn't matter.
Roland Mathias is one of the most important writers to emerge in
Wales since the Second World War. He was one of the founders of
Dock Leaves in 1949 and became an outstanding editor of the
magazine under its revised title, The Anglo-Welsh Review. He is a
distinguished short-story writer, literary critic and, above all, a
poet. His poetry is profoundly influenced by the personal challenge
of Christian morality and focuses on the intertwined concerns of
family, mutability, history and landscape. It is characterized by
verbal inventiveness, skilful use of metre and honesty of
observation. The Collected Poems of Roland Mathias contains his
entire poetic output, from Days Enduring (1942) to A Field at
Vallorcines (1996), as well as a number of previously unpublished
pieces. The poems are fully annotated and, in addition to a
biographical outline and bibliography, the editor's introduction
includes an extended discussion of Mathias's poetic development and
a review of critical opinions of his poetry. This is the definitive
edition of the poetic work of one of the major figures of
twentieth-century Welsh writing in English.
Since 1996, Sam Adams's 'Letter from Wales' column has been
appearing in PN Review, one of the most highly-regarded UK poetry
magazines, offering insight and appreciation of Welsh writing,
culture and history. This landmark volume collects these letters -
a quarter century of work - and offers one of the most unique,
independent and passionate critical voices on the writing and
cultural output of Wales during this period. Here you will find
erudite appreciations of the work of a wide range of recent and
contemporary Welsh writers from Gillian Clarke to Roland Mathias,
RS Thomas to Rhian Edwards. Alongside this, Adams offers us lyric
essays to Welsh history, and clear-eyed examinations of the
institutions of Welsh culture. Collected for the first time in this
volume, the 'letters' are among the most significant and sustained
attempts during this period to present Welsh writing to an audience
throughout the UK and beyond.
